North Pyongan Province sits at the northwestern corner of North Korea, bordering China’s Liaoning province along the Yalu River. Home to Sinuiju — the DPRK’s primary land border crossing with China — North Pyongan province is one of the most strategically and economically significant regions in the country. Daily NK covers North Pyongan province through reports on cross-border trade and smuggling, provincial party politics, economic conditions, and the daily lives of residents in Sinuiju and surrounding areas. Our sources in the region provide ground-level reporting on a province that serves as North Korea’s primary window to the outside world.
