Jangja Revolutionary Historic Site,&#8221; the source said. Located in Ganggye, where late leader Kim Jong Il reportedly took refuge during the Korean War, the site is used for field trips for locals so can learn about the country&#8217;s &#8220;revolutionary traditions.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refurbishing these revolutionary historical sites is likely an attempt to promote loyalty to Kim Jong Un and his leadership by highlighting the \u201crevolutionary traditions\u201d of Mt.
