Natural monuments of North Korea is a natural monuments system that designates natural resources that are designated as significant to the North Korean government. A total of 469 natural monument entries have been designated from no.1 to no. 935.[1]
North Korea first established a law made to protect natural heritage in 1946 April 29th, but was abolished and was revised with new rules of administrating it in 1990.[2]
The designations are not only considered in an academic,aesthetic and economic perspective, but also designated based on whether it has significant revolutionary history regarding the ruling Kim family of North Korea.For plants it can be something the Kim family planted themselves, for geology it can be things that they named themselves, or important in terms of cult of personality, such as Mount Paektu and Samjiyon lake, for animals it can be things that were paid attention to by the Kim family.[3]
Missing numbers are simply numbers that are not designated with natural monuments.

| 922 | Manbyeongcho(Rhododendron aureum) of Mt Paektu 백두산만병초/ |
It is 20-50 cm high. The stem lays down and spreads many branches. The nodes are attached with scales that are formed every year. The leaves are alternate, and at the end of the branch, it looks like a pillow attached to it. The leaf body is long-round or inverted, shiny, and the edges are rolled back and dried. It is a thick thick leather. Around June-July, an even inflorescence is formed at the end of the branch, and beautiful pale yellow flowers (about 3cm in diameter) bloom in clusters. The calyx is very small and the flower cap is bell-shaped and shallowly 5-pronged. 10 male stamens and 1 pistil. The fruit is a long round bouncing fruit and has brown hairs. Propagation is by cuttings or seeds. The leaves contain andromedotoxin, flavonoids, and ursolic acid. Manbyeongcho is planted for ornamental purposes, and the leaves are used as blood pressure lowering drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs. In the private sector, the leaves are eaten for arthritis, joint swelling, and neuralgia. The large manbyeongcho (R. fauriei), a similar species, grows up to 4 to 5 m, and its leaves are used as medicine.[8] | ||
