Introduction to Kŭmgang, North Korea
Kŭmgang is a famous mountainous area and tourist city in Gangwon Province, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), located on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula near the border between the two Koreas. The area is famous for its magnificent natural scenery, and Mount Kumgang is known as the "No. 1 Mountain" in the DPRK, famous for its strange peaks and rocks, clear streams, and seasonal changes in scenery, attracting nature lovers with azalea blossoms in the spring and maple leaves on fire in the fall.
Geumgangsan Tourist Area, an important project of inter-Korean cooperation, was opened as a special international tourist zone in 1998, and had allowed South Korean tourists to visit the area by land to promote exchanges between the North and the South. The zone is home to well-known attractions such as the Mangeum Sang and the Nine Dragon Fountain, as well as temples and historical and cultural relics. Although political factors have led to the disruption of tourism, Geumgang still symbolizes the ecotourism potential of the DPRK, reflecting its unique geographic and humanistic values.
