Wonsan, Port city in Kangwon Province, North Korea
Wonsan extends along the eastern coastline with a deep harbor, industrial facilities, and residential districts spreading inland from the Sea of Japan.
The port settlement transformed into a major trading center in the 1880s, later becoming a crucial entry point for 90,000 Koreans returning from Japan after the Korean War.
The Songdowon Children's Camp hosts 1,200 young participants during summer months, offering educational programs and recreational activities near the beach.
The city functions as a transportation hub with direct rail connections to Russia through Khasan and maintains regular maritime routes for commercial vessels.
