Mangyongdae
Mangyongdae is a neighborhood in Mangyongdae-guyok, Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korean propaganda claims Mangyongdae as the birthplace of North Korean leader Kim Il-sung, although in his memoirs he wrote that he had been born in the nearby neighborhood of Chilgol. Mangyongdae is where his father, Kim Hyong-jik was from, and where Kim Il-sung spent his childhood.
Mangyongdae has been designated as a historic site since 1947, and is listed as a Revolutionary Site.
Original structures at the site have been replaced with replicas.
Mangyongdae has since been incorporated to the city of Pyongyang. The Man'gyŏngdae Prize is named after the area.Works cited
