Kangdong Residence, Government residence in Kangdong County, North Korea

The residence spans 4 square kilometers near the Taedong River, featuring multiple buildings, lakes, and elaborate gardens within its secured perimeter.

The compound was built during the 1980s and underwent expansion in the 1990s under Kim Jong Il's directive to accommodate his family members.

The residence reflects North Korean leadership protocols, serving as a private retreat where leaders engage with selected high-ranking officials.

Security measures include two armored fence lines with guard stations and checkpoints, restricting access to authorized personnel only.

The property contains specialized facilities including horse stables, a racing track, bowling lanes, and a dedicated railway station.
