When a photographer took a trip to one of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's pet projects - built to bring in thousands of foreign tourists to the country - he discovered a sparkling clean ski resort... with barely another person or drop of snow in sight.

The communist enclave's one and only ski destination, on top of Taehwa Peak, boasts a hotel with wood cabin style rooms, complimentary toiletries, and spa facilities and 110 kilometres (70 miles) of multi-level slopes.

However, photographer Aram Pan, from Singapore, who took the photos while on his fourth trip to North Korea from 16-20 October, did not find any other tourists to mingle with.

'I saw one western tourist on a "private tour" at the Ski resort. I’m not sure who he was. I didn't ask,' Mr Pan told Daily Mail Australia.
