Manpo

Manpo (Korean pronunciation: [man.pʰo]) is a city of northwestern Chagang Province, North Korea.

Earlier, in October 1949, it had been combined into a single county consisting Manpo-myon, Kosan-myon, Oegwi-myon, Iso-myon and Sijung-myon, which were split from Kanggye-gun.

During the Joseon Dynasty, fortresses and camps were built in this area, for which the city is now named after.

The majority of Manpo is located at a lower height than the rest of Jagang Province, though the northeast and east do have areas of higher elevation, which gradually slopes down to the much lower areas along the banks of the Yalu River.

Man'po is connected to other cities in North Korea by road, and by the Unha, Manpo and Pukbunaeryuk lines of the Korean State Railway.
