Songwon (Paperback)


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Songwon is a kun, or county, in southwestern Chagang province, North Korea. It borders Usi and Kopung counties to the north, Tongsin to the east, and Huichon to the south, as well as North Pyongan's Tongchang county to the west. Originally part of Chosan, it was established as a separate county in 1949, when Chagang province was created. The Chongchon and Chungman Rivers both flow through Songwon. The terrain is mountainous, with the Pinandok and Chogyuryong Mountains rising in the county's south. The highest peaks are in the north; the tallest is Koambong, 1,744 m above sea level. The climate is continental but relatively wet; the frost begins in early October and lifts in late April. The chief local industry is logging, with 93% of the county covered by forestland. Livestock, particularly cattle, are also raised, and crops including maize and rice are grown. A 67 km reservoir has been built across the Chungman (completed in 1980), and is used for hydroelectric power.
