Rigen

Japanese: 利原 - りげん
Rigen
A coastal county in the center of South Hamgyong Province, Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Most of the county is covered by mountains over 1,000 meters high, but there is a narrow plain along Iwon Bay, and there are deep natural harbors such as Iwon Port and Chaho Port. The coastal waters are home to world-class fishing grounds for pollock and mackerel, making it a base for the fishing industry. Iron ore, silica, talc and other mines are distributed around the mountainous area, and mining is also thriving. The county is known as the location of the Jinheung King Takjeongbi Monument, which records the expedition of King Jinheung of Silla in the mid-6th century.
