GENSAN (WONSAN)
山元 Gen-san
This port, situated on the north-eastern coast of Chosen, is in the southern corner of the province of South Kankyo, about halfway between Fusan and Vladivostock. The native town has grown considerably since the port was opened to trade, and contained a population of 61,772 at the end of 1936. The town is built along the southern shore of the bay, and through it runs the main road which leads from Keijo to the Tumen river. The harbour is a good one, being spacious, easy of access, and well sheltered with excellent holding ground and convenient depth of water.
Trade is carried on by regular lines of steamers running to Japan and coastwise. The exports consist chiefly of gold, cement, beans and rice. Imports consist chiefly of iron and steel, cotton and silk manufactured goods, kerosene oil, machinery and foodstuffs.
