Sinanju is a city in the northwestern part of South Pyongan Province in North Korea, located on the north bank of the lower Daedong River, about 15 kilometers from the west coast, and is one of the important transportation hubs and industrial cities in North Korea. It is strategically located where the Gyeongyi Line (connecting Pyongyang and Kaesong) and the Northern East Sea Line meet. As a major railroad station in the northern part of the DPRK, Sinanju Station assumes the important functions of domestic passenger and cargo transportation as well as cross-border railroad transportation between China and the DPRK, which is of strategic significance for the regional economic linkage. Industries are mainly machinery manufacturing, chemicals and textiles, and the surrounding agricultural plains are rich in rice, corn and other crops, making it one of the grain-producing areas of South Pyongan Province. As a node city connecting the inland and the coast, Sinanju plays a key role in North Korea's transportation network and regional economic development.
