Where do Koreans live?

Korean nationality is one of the ethnic minorities in China, mainly distributed in the border areas of Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces, and some of them live in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Qinghai. Next, let's find out where Koreans live.

Jilin province

Jilin is one of the vast northeastern regions of China, located in the middle of the northeastern region of China. In Jilin Province, the main Korean settlement is Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. This autonomous prefecture is the only Korean autonomous prefecture in China, which has a profound Korean cultural heritage. Here, the Korean population accounts for more than one third of the total population, and they have their own diet, language and folk culture.

Liaoning province

Liaoning is an important province in the northeast of China, adjacent to Jilin Province. In Liaoning Province, Koreans are widely distributed, mainly living in Dandong, Huludao, Jinzhou, Shenyang and other places. Among them, Dandong is the only city in China directly adjacent to North Korea, facing Sinuiju City across the river. Dandong has a large Korean population, so there is a profound Korean cultural atmosphere here.

Heilongjiang province

Heilongjiang is the northernmost province in northeast China, bordering on Russia. In Heilongjiang Province, the main Korean settlements are Tumen City and Hunchun City. Both cities are located on the border between China and North Korea. Because of its proximity to the Soviet Union, many Korean immigrants came to settle here in the 1950s and 1960s. They inherited the cultures of South Korea and China and formed a unique Korean culture.

Generally speaking, Korean people are widely distributed in China, and they have achieved a good balance between traditional culture and modern culture. If you have the opportunity to come to the place where they live in compact communities, you will be infected by their enthusiasm and hospitality.
