Ryongwang Pavilion is a scenic overlook located in the central district of Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Located on the bank of the Taedong River, the pavilion was first constructed during the Goguryeo dynasty as "Sansu Pavilion", and was part of the defenses of the walled city of Pyongyang (along with the nearby Taedong Gate and Pyongyang Bell). It is labeled as National Treasure #16 in North Korea.
