Originally Chongjin was only a small fishing village, located in northeastern Korea. In 1908, the Japanese imperialist ruler, in order to facilitate a sea route for the plunders of northeast Chinese and Korean resources, opened this small fishing village as a trade port. In 2003, the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Also known as DPRK and North Korea) formed a northeast Korean trade port here. The People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation have set up their Consulates in Chongjin. It is unique for a North Korean city to have a foreign consulate. Chongjin is the administrative centre of the North Hamgyong Province.
Chongjin is located in the northeast of North Korea, in North Hamgyong Province, near the East Korea Bay in the Sea of Japan (East Sea of Korea). Chongjin divides into 7 districts: the Central Business District expands to the south, and the coast section is near the lively Sosongchon River mouth. The city is 50 miles from the Chinese border, and its proximity is allowing a growing market of Chinese goods sold on the streets. Outside of the capital Pyongyang it has one of the largest markets for goods in the country.
Main Station of Wonson-Rason Railway and Chongjin-Rason Railway, electric railway connect Rason and capital Pyongyang. Chongjin Airport is equipped with a 2km runway, military and civilian dual purpose air station (CHO); Also may take Chaoyangcun International Airport (YNJ), People's Republic of China. Moreover, the DPRK planned to upgrade an old airport near Hamhung in 2003, so that it would have a 4km runway, and would act as the second international airport. However, it is still not yet completed. The first international airport is in Pyongyang and is called Sunan International Airport (FNJ). Chongjin is the only city in North Korea other than Pyongyang to operate the trams, which are all second-hand from Pyongyang. Due to electricity shortages, however, the trams run infrequently. Private taxis do not exist, personal cars are extremely rare, and owning a bicycle is a luxury.
It has Chongjin University of Technology, The Chongjin Mine University and Chongjin University of Education, altogether 3 higher education institutes and an aquatic product research centre. Famous scenic sites include hot springs, and Mt. Chibosan. It also has a zoo, but currently has no animals in it. Chongjin's famous product is processed squid.
