Nampo

A port city (directly controlled municipality) in the western part of North Korea. It is located on the left bank of the Taedong River estuary, 1.5 km upstream, and serves as the outer port of Pyongyang. Since being designated an open port in 1897, it has developed as a trading port with many foreign consulates established there. After liberation in 1945, it became one of North Korea's largest metals industrial bases. At the Nampo Smelter, lead, zinc, copper, and other materials produced in western North Korea are smelted and rolled. There are also Nampo Plate Glass Factory, salt production, and machinery factories. The surrounding area is famous for its apples.
