North Korean National Treasure #47.
Built during the Yi dynasty in 1728, Ryuksung Pavilion literally means "six victories". It was named for the six beautiful scenes that could be enjoyed from it; "the moon rising above Moran Hill, the sun setting behind Nam Hill and hearing the enchanting sound of the flute coming from Yaksandongdae, the shouts of those practicing martial arts on the drilling ground, the evening bell of Chonju Temple, and the voices of children reading at school."
