Ryongchŏn is a city in North Korea. Ryongchŏn is about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from the border with China. It is located in the North P'yŏngan Province. The P'yŏngŭi railway line between China and P'yŏngyang runs through Ryongchŏn. It is the busiest line in the country, crossing the border in nearby Sinŭiju, North Korea and Dandong, China. The area has a reported population of 27,000 and is a center of chemical and metalworking production. On April 22, 2004, the town was hit by a major disaster when a flammable cargo exploded at the town's railway station, causing widespread death and destruction, known as the Ryongchŏn Disaster.
