From The World According to Herr Willie: Kumgangsan and the Sacred Mountains of North Korea:

"One of the most remarkable stories in the North are about the waterfall of Ulim. Kim Jong Il managed to discover a hidden waterfall, basically by himself in the year 2001. He was around Mount Kumgang and heard the stream of water. He then guided his entourage and workers in the right direction and there it was: Ulim. I was quite amazed, that in such a small country waterfalls could be undetected, until a grand leader comes along.

"Now, that’s been found it is very easy to approach. You enter Mount Kumgang from the north through Okryu Valley and hike for about an hour. But it’s worth to take your time. For us it was a great opportunity to talk to our guides in private. It was a time for bold question and surprising answers. In front of the waterfall is a little stone plateau with the exact date carved on it – the day when Kim Jong Il gazed at Ulim, as it was opened for the public."

And from Triumph of the Dear Leader: A Journey Inside North Korea, describing a gymnastics/artistic performance:

"... other scenes were otherworldly, as when eight fairies soared over heavenly Ullim Falls, and were welcomed by a chorus of lovely purple azaleas in female form."
