Puhung Station is a station on Mangyongdae Line of the Pyongyang Metro.[1] It is the terminus of the Chollima Line. Before the rules were relaxed in 2010, it was one of the only two stations that tourists could visit, the other one being Yonggwang Station. These two stations are the most finely decorated in the system, to cater to tourists, and also were the last two to be completed.[2]

Puhung Station features a mural entitled The Great Leader Kim Il-Sung Among Workers.[2]
