Hungnam, Konan
Hungnam, a major industrial center on North
Korea's east coast, offers a window into the nation's industrial
might for visiting sailors. While
designated sights for tourists are likely nonexistent, the massive factories
and shipyards themselves might be a sight to behold. Shopping options will be
restricted to government-controlled stores with basic necessities and possibly
a few local crafts. Don't expect a wide variety of dining
options; restaurants here will likely serve traditional
Korean fare. Nightlife, similar to other North Korean
ports, is virtually absent in Hungnam.
However, you can relax and unwind after a long journey, taking in the
unique atmosphere of this industrial city.
