Jinhae (formerly known as Chinhae) is a district in Changwon City, South Korea. This region is served by theKorean National Railroad, and is famous for its annual cherry blossom festival every spring.
The city front is on a sheltered, island-studded bay, and is almost completely surrounded by mountains covered with pine trees.
The emblem of Jinhae contains a cherry blossom.
History
Jinhae was developed as a naval base (Chinkai Naval Station) of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Japanese occupation period in the early 20th century.
In December 2009, the city council approved a proposal to merge with Changwon and Masan, to form a yet-to-be-named city of over one million people. The city councils of the other two cities have also approved the merger, which would bring national funds to the metropolis through an existing law to aid cities of over one million population. TheProvincial Council of South Gyeongsang Province must approve the merger. A decision is expected in the penultimate week of December. [1]
[edit]Economy
The city is primarily supported by the Korean Naval personnel and their families or people working for the Republic of Korea Navy shipyard and base facilities. Today, Jinhae hosts major naval facilities of the South Korean Navyincluding Commander-in-Chief Republic of Korea Fleet (CINCROKFLT) and the Naval Academy.
Jinhae is part of a large urban corridor that links the adjacent cities of Masan and Changwon. These three cities merged as one in 2010. Hence the name "Jinhae-gu" instead of "Jinhae-si".
Moreover, the city is also host to the only US Naval base in Korea, US Naval Fleet Activities, Chinhae.
