This is one of the rural parts of North Korea. The second largest city, Hamhung, is made of hectares of underdeveloped land, in opposite to Pyongyang. Even the best roads can still be described as rough, potholed, and unmaintained. People living in the rural areas experience the greatest of the economic repercussions among all. They can be seen as tirelessly carrying sacks up and down unpaved roads without the right modes of transportation. Underage workers are even forced to work due to poverty.
