Huichun Border Port in Jilin
Hunchun is a county-level city located in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in far eastern Jilin province, China. Situated near the borders of North Korea (North Hamgyong province) and Russia (Primorsky Krai), it covers an area of 5,145 square kilometers and is home to over 250,000 inhabitants. Historically, it served as the capital of the Balhae/Bohai Kingdom from 785 to 793 under the name “Dongyang.”
The name “Hunchun” derives from the Manchu language, where it is referred to as “Huncun” (Manchu: ᡥᡠᠨᠴᡠᠨ; Möllendorff: huncun; Abkai: hunqun).
One notable feature of Hunchun is its proximity to the point where the borders of China, Russia, and North Korea converge. The village of Fangchuan, located nearby, offers an observation platform for tourists to enjoy the unique geographical location.
Jilin province, where Hunchun is located, boasts favorable conditions for the development of a modern logistics industry. It is home to 16 China-Russia and China-Democratic People’s Republic of Korea border ports, as well as two international airports and two inland railway ports.
Fangchuan village, situated in the eastern part of Jilin province, is just 15 kilometers away from the Sea of Japan. It marks the mouth of the Tumen River, which flows into the sea and serves as the closest point between China and Russia, as well as the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, Japan, and the DPRK.
