Photo taken in 2009. Like the rest of Changjon-dong, this kindergarten had to make way for the new high-rise construction project in Mansudae area (Changjon Street) which was completed in 2012.

평양호텔(오늘의 대동강려관).
Built in 1955 as a hotel for foreign guests, it was first called "International Hotel" (국제려관), then Pyongyang Hotel (평양호텔), and finally Taedonggang Hotel (대동강려관). As most foreigners at that time were Russians, the hotel was commonly known as "the Russian hotel". The old Taedonggang Hotel burnt down some years ago due to the carelessness of a waitress who had forgotten to switch off an electric blanket, as I've been told.
