山群
Kunsan is situated near the mouth of the Kinko river on the west coast of Korea, about midway between Chemulpo and Mokpo. Behind the port lie the richest agricultural districts of the Peninsula, known as the "granary of Korea". Rice, which is all taken by Japan, outweights all other exports in value, and as a rice-shipping port Kunsan is second in Korea only to Fusan. In the town are a number of rice-cleaning mills The population in 1935 was 41,620.
SEISHIN
津淸
Seishin is an important port and the commercial centre of north-eastern Korea. It has a deep harbour, but its exposed character places it at a dis- advantage as compared with Rashin, some 36 miles further up the coast, where harbour works have recently been constructed. Seishin is connected by rail with Seoul (542 km.) via Gensan and northwards through Kainei with the South Manchuria Railway system. It is a port of call for vessels on the regular Tsuruga-Vladivostok service. The population in 1933 was 36,970.
