Article History

Najin, city, Hamgyŏng-pukto (North Hamgyŏng province), northeastern North Korea. It is located on Najin Bay, on the East Sea (Sea of Japan). Protected by Taech’o and Soch’o islands, it has a good natural harbour and is a port city. Formerly a poor village, it developed rapidly after the construction of the rail line connecting it with the urban centres of Manchuria in 1932. Fisheries are important; the neighbouring waters offer good fishing grounds for cod, pollack, and herring. Shipbuilding is carried on. It is a station on the rail line passing through Wŏnsan, to the south, through Hamhŭng and Ch’ŏng-jin, and continuing past Najin to Sŏnbong (Unggi), to the north, via the Ungna Tunnel (12,631 feet [3,850 metres] long), the longest tunnel in the country. Beyond Sŏnbong, the rail line parallels the Chinese border and then crosses into China. Pop. (2004 est.) 59,500.
