Chongjin, North Korea: travel guide
Chongjin is North Korea's third-largest city and capital of North Hamgyong Province on the northeastern coast. Long closed to outside visitors, it is now accessible on specialist itineraries as an example of authentic North Korean urban life, with its industrial landscape, busy markets, and rugged coastal setting far from the capital's showcase glamour.
