Hamhung, Administrative center in South Hamgyong Province, North Korea
Hamhung extends across the Hamhung plain near the Sea of Japan, containing seven distinct districts and Mount Tonghung reaching 319 meters in elevation.
The city underwent a significant transformation from 1955 to 1962 when East Germany led reconstruction efforts following extensive damage during the Korean War.
Hamhung Grand Theatre stands as North Korea's largest performance venue, where regional artists present traditional Korean music and dance performances throughout the year.
The city maintains a robust transportation system with Hamhung Station on the Pyongra Line railway and a trolleybus network serving local commuters since 1973.
Hamhung produces a regional variant of Naengmyeon cold noodles characterized by stronger spices than versions found in other North Korean regions.
