Before 2019, Chagang was the only province of North Korea  completely inaccessible to tourists, possibly due to weapons factories and nuclear weapon facilities located there. In 2019 the city of <a href="/facts/Manpo/RsyVTpIK">Manpo</a> became accessible to tourists. In May 2018, the province became a "Special Songun (military first) Revolutionary Zone" in relations to concealing the nuclear weapon and weapon's factories within the province.
