Kaesong

Kaesong City (Kaesŏng-si), North Hwanghae Province, DPRK.
Kaesŏng is a city in North Hwanghae Province, North Korea (DPRK). It was the capital of Korea during the Koryo Dynasty, and a center of trade - then, it was known as "Songdo", meaning "capital of pines". It is famous both for its natural beauty and its wealth of historic architecture, as it avoided destruction during the American firebombings of the Korean War. It is sometimes called "Gaeseong".
