Yanggakdo International Hotel, 47-floor skyscraper hotel in Chung-guyok, North Korea.

The Yanggakdo International Hotel, designed by Baikdoosan Architects & Engineers, opened its doors in 1995 as North Korea's first international accommodation.

The hotel incorporates several restaurants offering Korean, Chinese, and Japanese cuisine, reflecting the regional culinary traditions of East Asia.
