Nampo City
 
Namp’o (North Korean official spelling: Nampho) is a city and seaport in South Pyongan Province, North Korea. It was a provincial-level Directly Governed City (Chikhalsi) from 1980 to 2004, when it was designated a „Special City“ and made a part of South Pyongyang. Namp’o is situated approximately 50 kilometres south west of P’yo(ngyang, at the mouth of the Taedong River. It was originally a small fishing village, but opened as a port of foreign trade in 1897, and began to develop into a modern port after liberation in 1945. With the rapid increase in state investment, the city’s industrial capacity grew.
 
Some of the industrial facilities are the Namp’o Smelter Complex, the Namp'o Glass Corporation, the Namp’o Shipbuilding Complex, the Namp’o Fishery Complex and other central and local factories. Namp’o is a center for the DPRK shipbuilding industry. North of the city are facilities for freight transportation, aquatic products, and fishery, and a sea salt factory. Apples grown in the city’s Ryonggang district are a famous local product.
 
Namp’o lies on the northern shore of the Taedong River, 15 km east of the river’s mouth.
