Ganggye - Ganggye

Japanese: 江界 - こうかい
Ganggye - Ganggye

A city in Jagang Province, North Korea. It faces the cliffs on the right bank of the Dokro River, with Gohyeonryeong at its back, making it a strategic location. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was an old town where a military camp was established to guard against invasions by northern peoples. It was a remote mountain area, but with the establishment of Jagang Province it became the centre of the province and a cultural city with political, economic and cultural institutions. Within the city are the Kanggye Youth Power Plant, paper and pencil factories, Kanggye University of Technology and a veterinary university. Jinpung Pavilion, one of the Eight Views of Kansai, is located on a steep cliff on the bank of the Dokro River. It was built in 1473, but suffered many war damages and was rebuilt in 1962.

北朝鮮、慈江道(じこうどう/チャカンド)の都市。禿魯江(とくろこう/トクロカン)右岸の河食崖(がい)に臨み、背後は狗峴嶺(くけんれい)を控える要害の地。李朝(りちょう)時代は北方民族の侵入に備えて鎮営を置いた古い町である。山間の僻地(へきち)であったが、慈江道の新設によって道の中心地となり、政治、経済、文化機関のある文化都市となった。市内には江界青年発電所、製紙、鉛筆工場があり、江界工大、獣医大学がある。関西八景の一つである仁風楼(じんふうろう)は禿魯江岸の急崖にある。これは1473年に建てられたものであるが、多くの戦災にあい、1962年に再建された。
