P'ohang

P'ohang

      city, Kyŏngsang-puk do (province), eastern South Korea. A fishing port, it lies on the eastern side of the Yŏngil Gulf, 51 miles (82 km) east-northeast of Taegu, the provincial capital. Formerly a small village, it began to develop after 1930 with the construction of a modern harbour by reclamation of the shoreline and diversion of the Hyŏngsan River to the south of the city. The surrounding plains produce various agricultural products, and the sea provides good fishing grounds. The city is at the intersection of rail and shipping lines. Traditional industries include wine and brandy making, but during the 1970s heavy industry, including iron and steel production, and shipbuilding were developed. Pop. (1990 prelim.) 318,595.
