Ch'ongjin
Chongjin, a major industrial port city
in North Korea, offers a glimpse into the
country's socialist society. While
designated tourist attractions might be scarce for foreigners, exploring the
harbor itself can be an interesting experience. Witness the working waterfront
and the movement of cargo ships. Shopping options for foreigners are likely restricted
to government-controlled stores selling local goods and
souvenirs. Dining options might also be limited, with restaurants serving basic
Korean fare. Nightlife for foreigners is likely
nonexistent, so plan your evenings for relaxation or exploring the city under
supervision.
