Railway Line
A train connects the city on the Vladivostok - Rasŏn railway line.
Station linking Russia and North Korea, thanks to a railway bridge crossing the Tumen River. The railway between the two countries was built during World War II to transport Soviet troops and weapons to Korea to fight against Japan. It was also used during the Korean War.
This line is currently little used, with only 10,000 passengers transported in 2005.
In April 2008, Russia and North Korea signed the long-awaited agreement allowing the reconstruction of a railway line to Russia.
