'''Mukho''' is a [[harbor]] in [[Donghae City]], [[Gangwon]] Province, [[South Korea]]. It is located on the shore of the [[Sea of Japan]] (East Sea). In the past it played an important role in the shipping of iron ore and coal; much of this role has been taken over by [[Donghae Harbor]] in recent years. Mukho is an important [[harbor of refuge]] and home to a large number of fishing vessels. A passenger ferry operates from the port to [[Ulleung Island]]. The harbor is connected to land-based transportation by two stations on the [[Yeongdong Line]] and an interchange on the [[Donghae Expressway]]. The harbor first opened in [[1941]].
