Buildings and facilities
The area is primarily used for agriculture and as an industrial site. There are also several offices of the North Korean Ministry of State Security and the DPRK-Cuba Friendship Hwasong Cooperative Farm in the district.
The ruler Kim Jong-il and his sister Kim Kyŏng-hŭi as well as her husband Chang Sung-taek own their residences on a common area in Ryongsŏng. The complex was built in the early 1980s by the Korean People's Army , which also has some facilities in the immediate vicinity.
