About Wonsan

Wonsan, on North Korea’s east coast, has scenic beaches and a relaxed seaside vibe, but it’s **not suitable for digital nomads**. Internet access is extremely limited, connectivity is tightly controlled, and independent travel is heavily restricted. 🏖️📵🌏 It’s more a place for observation than remote work.
