It may not be a city but maybe a geographic feature. Like mountains, hills, valleys, even the curve of a river, etc have names sometimes and that may have been one of them. At least I'm going off my understanding of naming as a westerner as those seem to be rules found all over the globe.
Considerations:
- It's possible the name was misspelled or lost in translation or the modern translation is different.
- It's also possible it's an old name and the area has since been given a new one. (Consider also it may have been a name used only by locals at the time or by the Chinese but not Koreans)
- It's also possible there is no name anymore because there's nothing there anymore so the name is lost.
- It could be a combination of these things.
The clue is I suppose it's something that can be reached from the Yalu river left at late evening time by morning via whatever conveyance they were using (walking, trucks, etc). I would see if you could find a copy of this in Chinese and see what the original language characters say there (deepl can help translating).
