Sinŭiju
Encyclopedia Article
Sinŭiju, city in northwestern North Korea, capital of North P'yŏngan Province and situated on the Yalu River near its delta on the Yellow Sea. Sinŭiju became important after a bridge over the Yalu, linking the city with Dandong (Antung), China, was opened in 1910. It is today a major rail transportation center between North Korea and China. Sinŭiju developed rapidly as an industrial center after World War II (1939-1945). Although it was heavily bombed during the Korean War (1950-1953), its rail connections with China enabled postwar reconstruction. Population (1993) 326,011.
