|
Kŭmgang-san Tourist Region (Kŭmgang-san Kwangwang Chigu) is a special administrative region of North Korea. It was established in 2002 to handle South Korean tourist traffic to Kŭmgang-san (Diamond Mountain, the second tallest mountain in North Korea).
Since 1998, South Korea tourists have been allowed to visit Kŭmgang-san, travelling usually by cruise ship but on rare occasions by bus. In 2002, the area around the mountain was separated from Kangwŏn Province and organized as a separately administered Tourist Region.
