Ongjin Peninsula

Japanese: 甕津半島 - おうしんはんとう
Ongjin Peninsula

It is a peninsula that juts out like a compound leaf from Ongjin in South Hwanghae Province, North Korea, towards Ganghwa Bay in the Yellow Sea. It is surrounded by the Kangnyeong Peninsula to the south. The southern part of the peninsula is south of the 38th parallel, but after the Korean War it became part of North Korean territory. The coast is a ria coastline, and seaweed and oysters are actively cultivated, and in the nearby waters there is also a large catch of croaker, cod, flounder, and sardines. Munwi Island and Ryongho Island at the head of the bay produce silica sand.
