North Korea has completed the construction of Myongsasimri Station, a railway station aimed at attracting tourists to the Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone, which the country is fostering as a major tourist hub.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that the completion ceremony for the modern Myongsasimri Station, built in the Wonsan-Kalma Coastal Tourist Zone, took place yesterday (the 27th).

KCNA stated that Myongsasimri Station is "a standard local railway station designed practically to fit its mission, function, and purpose of guaranteeing tourist travel, with a total floor area of over 7,000 square meters, constructed in a unique architectural style that highlights the characteristics of a coastal tourism city."

The completion ceremony was attended by officials from relevant sectors including Vice Premier of the Cabinet Pak Hun, Chairman of the Kangwon Provincial People's Committee Hwang Man-bok, and railway transport officials, alongside workers of Myongsasimri Station and builders. Minister of Railways Kim Ha-gyu delivered the completion address.

In his address, Minister Kim remarked that Myongsasimri Station has "risen as a model of our own unique local railway station in a wonderland along the East Sea," and urged that transportation organization and command be made scientific and rational for travelers, while station and railway management as well as guidance services must be carried out responsibly.

The Wonsan-Kalma zone is a large-scale resort complex that opened in July of last year, utilizing the long sandy beach of "Myongsasimri" on the Kalma Peninsula. It was constructed with a capacity to accommodate 20,000 people, with foreign tourist attraction in mind.
