Changgwangsan Street (Pyongyang(P'yŏngyang))

Changgwangsan Street, Chung-guyŏk (central district), P'yŏngyang, North Korea

Changgwangsan Street is also known as "bar street" or "restaurant street" because there are a number of eating and drinking establishments on its southern blocks that accept foreigners and their currency. Changgwangsan Street was finished in 1982. Previously it had been known as Ryunhwanson Street, which was destroyed in 1979. The middle blocks of Changgwangsan Street are fenced off and guarded, as it contains the Central Committee offices and residences.
