Sea air: Pictures have emerged of the smog-covered hell hole Kim Jong-Un's citizens are brainwashed into thinking is one of the finest beach resorts on the planet

Tempting: North Korean guides describe 'excellent stretches of pristine beach' at Majon, a suburb of Hamhung, North Korea's second biggest city with 800,000 people

The coastal city is also an industrial hub and one visitor, French photographer Eric Lafforgue, captured pictures of dense smog and 'alarming' yellow smoke pumping out of an chemical plant just ten minutes from the beach

Lafforgue said views from a hill top 'show a dull city surrounded by the smoke from the factory chimneys as Hamhung is home to the best beach in North Korea but is also an industrial city with many chemical complexes'

Luxury: At the beachfront hotel, the bathtub was already filled with water  which had to be heated by immersing an electrical device in it

Room with a view: Pictures show the bleak looking beach front hotel which was just under a mile away from a chemical factory hub

Lafforgue said he saw thick yellow smoke coming from the chimney of a fertilizer plant that his guide insisted on him visiting

Bleak: A brochure the photographer was given said Majon was 'the resort in the suburbs of Hamhung and an industrial city'

A group of young men walk along a paved area in foggy conditions in a beach resort described as North Korea's finest

Tasty: On his second night, he complained about the high price of the restaurant and low quality of food. Instead, his guide organised a meal of clams on the beach

The photographer described hotel rooms as 'little chalets' with thin walls 'so you can share everything with your neighbours'

The photographer said that the only foreign guests he met were working for the Red Cross and the European Commission

Guides told the French tourist that the air in the city was 'pure' - despite the presence of numerous chemical plants

Pictures show a sandy stretch of beach in Majon - but under a mile away there are a series of chemical plants and factories

Taking a dip: A woman and a boy stand on the beach after going for a swim in a North Korea's number one beach resort

A woman looks back towards the camera as she holds her bicycle outside the entrance to a run-down building in the city

Outside the beach front hotel's entrance, a giant fresco shows Kim Il Sung talking with local fishermen on the shore

Images show some of the many factories and chemical plants that lie close to the main stretch of beach at the resort

A worker cycles past a factory and a chimney belching out smoke at a beach resort considered by Pyongnyang among the finest in North Koreas

The photographer said he suspected that the factory he had been asked to visit had been made 'especially for tourists'

He said there were only two staff, a male and a female, working in a giant area of the factory with colourful pipes going in and out of huge machines making 'squeaky noises'

At one factory, the photographer said he saw people looking out at him from behind a window - but it had been made opaque with plastic

At the entrance to one of the factories, Lafforgue found an old newspaper that had been sun-faded for years. He said it looked 'like the only official newspaper the workers read in the Pyongyang subway on their way to work to learn about the glorious actions of the Dear Leaders'
