Sangwon
Sangwon-gun is a county of North Hwanghae, formerly one of the four suburban counties located in east Pyongyang, North Korea. Prior to 1952, Sangwon was merely a township of Chunghwa County. In 1952 it was separated as a separate county, and in 1963 it was added as a county of Pyongyang. It is north of North Hwanghae's Hwangju, Yontan-gun, and Suan-gun, south of the Nam River and Kangdong-gun west of Yonsan-gun, and east of Chunghwa-gun. In 2010, it was administratively reassigned from Pyongyang to North Hwanghae; foreign media attributed the change as an attempt to relieve shortages in Pyongyang's food distribution system.[1]
