Gyeongwon County is a county under the North Hamgyong Province of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, located in the northeastern part of the country, bordering Jilin Province of China, in the lower basin of the Tumen River. The county covers an area of about 720 square kilometers, with mountainous and hilly terrain and a temperate monsoon climate with cold, dry winters and warm, rainy summers. It has a population of about 60,000, and its inhabitants are mainly engaged in agriculture, forestry and border trade activities.
Economically, Gyeongwon grows crops such as corn and soybeans, and has small-scale mineral and wood processing industries. The county maintains border trade with China through the Tumen River port, which is one of the most important corridors of economic communication between North Korea and the outside world. Infrastructure is relatively simple, with transportation relying on highways to connect to surrounding areas.
Gyeongwon County has historical significance, having been a node of cultural exchange in ancient Northeast Asia. Today, it plays a special role in regional economy and security as a border county between North Korea and China. The county's natural landscape is characterized by the valleys of the Tumen River and forest-covered mountains, but tourism has not been fully developed.
