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. |
