The Ryongwang Pavilion stands on elevated ground, featuring traditional Korean architecture with curved roofs and wooden columns overlooking the Taedong River.
Initially constructed during the Goguryeo dynasty as Sansu Pavilion, the structure served as part of Pyongyang's defensive system alongside Taedong Gate.
The pavilion holds National Treasure designation number 16 in North Korea and functions as a center for traditional poetry readings and artistic gatherings.
