Some photos of ryonggyang hot spring house , it was originally built exclusively for high-ranking North Korean officials, but it is one of the few elite zones that now selectively opens its gates to approved foreign tour groups.
The Ryonggang Hot Spring House opened to Western foreign tourists in the late 1990s.
The site shifted from a heavily guarded, top-secret government retreat to a commercial tourist destination as part of a state strategy to bring in hard foreign currency:
Following the severe economic crises and famine of the 1990s, the North Korean regime desperately needed foreign revenue. To achieve this, the state travel bureau began quietly modifying select elite compounds to host wealthy international visitors.
Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, the complex became a staple stop for Western tour agencies like KTG® Tours and Koryo Tours. Tourists were bused here from Pyongyang to stay in the original villas and try the famous gasoline clam barbecue.
Along with the rest of North Korea, the Ryonggang complex shut down completely in early 2020 due to strict pandemic border closures. As of 2026, the country remains tightly closed to general international tourism, barring limited, highly controlled tour groups from Russia.

Private indoor pool complex of ryongsong residence(#55)
These pyramids are the glass roofs of a large private indoor swimming facility for the Kim family living in the Ryongsong compound. The complex features a large bar area next to several pools and relaxation areas.
