Yŏnggwang station is a metro station of the Pyongyang Metro. The station was built as part of the Mangyongdae Line, designed as an extension of the Chollima Line that opened on or about 10 April 1987, and is today served by Chollima Line trains.[1]
Before the rules were relaxed in 2010, it was one of the only two stations that tourists could visit, the other one being Puhung station, because these two stations are the most finely decorated in the system. They were also the last two to be completed.[2][1] The station features murals on either side of the tunnel, 80 metres (260 ft) long each.[2] A third mosaic mural is called Lake Chon on Mt. Paektu.[3]
