This avenue was designed by East German architects and named after the first president of the German Democratic Republic, Wilhelm Pieck. Soon after the end of the German reconstruction aid in 1962, however, it was renamed Jongsong Street (jongsong meaning devotion or sincerity), and an oversized bronze statue of Kim Il Sung was erected on Mt Tonghung at its western end. The photo shows a view of Jongsong Street from Haebang Pavilion on Mt Tonghung.
