Railway Station Built on the Wihwa Island

The Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm built on the shore of the River Amnok at the northwestern end of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a monumental creation with a beautiful combination of a thousand and hundreds of modern greenhouses of different types, vegetable science research centre, modern houses, various bases for cultural life and peculiar landscape.
It was inaugurated on February 1, 2026.
In the farm area there is the Wihwado Railway Station which deals with the transportation of the vegetables produced at the farm and the processed goods produced at the vegetable processing factory.
Here is a story telling how the railway station was built on the Wihwa Island.
While guiding the construction of the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un specially emphasized that our construction should be steadily oriented to the new and development and the designs should reflect the multi-functional, multipurpose and practical ways suited to the characteristics, functions and prospectiveness of the projects concerned.

Learning about the plan of laying out the Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm, he said the Wihwado Railway Station should be a freight station carrying the vegetables produced at the farm, not tourists or passengers.
And he stressed the need to change the functional structure of the railway station so that it can enhance its functionality and practicality as a comprehensive transport centre, build a new vegetable storehouse and place the vegetable processing factory around it.
This is how the Wihwado Railway Station was built into the one fit for its use.
