Boiron is a town in the administrative district of Upper Bavaria in the German state of Bavaria, not an independent state. It is located about 50 kilometers south of Munich on the banks of the Isar River in the northern foothills of the Alps and has a population of about 3,500. The town is known for its rich history, its Catholic Benedictine abbey and its natural beauty.
The Abbey of Boiron, founded in the 8th century, is the central landmark of the area and is known for its Baroque architecture and collection of religious art. The town retains its traditional Bavarian houses, hosts annual Christmas markets and other folklore events, and is surrounded by forests and hills, making it ideal for hiking and cycling tours.
The economy is based on tourism, agriculture and small crafts, with easy access to Munich and the Austrian border by road and rail. Boiron embodies the tranquility and cultural heritage of the Bavarian countryside and is an ideal stopover for exploring the German pre-Alpine region.
Cheongjin, the capital of North Hamgyong Province in North Korea, is an important port city and the second largest city in North Korea, located in the northeast of the country on the coast of the Sea of Japan. As an industrial center in the northern part of the DPRK, Chongjin has basic industries such as iron and steel, machinery, and chemicals, and has historically developed rapidly due to its rich mineral resources (e.g. coal and iron ore).

Located on the border between the DPRK and China and Russia, Chongjin is a geographically important city with a predominantly industrial layout, as well as regional administrative and commercial functions, making it a key node for the economy and transportation in northeastern DPRK.
