Kapsan-ŭp sits inside Yanggang-do, North Korea and ranks #4 of 5 cities in Yanggang-do by population. Every distance on this page is a straight-line Great Circle (haversine) measurement — the shortest path a plane or signal would take between two GPS points, not the longer road-and-turns route a driver would actually cover. View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Kapsan-ŭp and the countries closest to Kapsan-ŭp by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near North Korea. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.

The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Kapsan-ŭp at a glance.
