Busan is a metropolitan government located in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. With the exception of foreigners living in Busan, the population is the largest in all metropolitan cities with 3,413,841 as of December 1919. If all metropolitan and provincial governments are combined, they are next in Gyeonggi-Seoul. Among metropolitan and provincial governments, population density is also second only to Seoul.
It is the second largest city in South Korea and the largest city in the Gyeongsang region, and also has the title of the nation's largest international trade port, the first maritime transportation and the second air transport, Gimhae International Airport. The Busan International Film Festival, the largest film festival in Asia, as well as G-STAR, Busan International Motor Show and Busan One Asia Festival are famous.
During the Korean War, Busan served as a temporary capital following Daejeon and Daegu. Busan retains the traces of the turbulent area that has formed the southeastern region since the temporary capital was the heyday of Busan’s light industry in the 1970s and 1980s, democratic protests and industrial facilities in neighboring provinces since the 1990s.
It is the largest port city in the country, and it is a city of considerable individuality and distinct features, except for this point. It is safe to say that it is the strongest city in Korea. Perhaps due to the turbulent modern history, Korea’s best skyline and the oldest buildings coexist, and the gap between the rich and poor is extreme, like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. There are even daldongne in Haeundae, Suyeong-gu and Nam-gu, the eastern mountains with many of Busan's richest villages.
Photos promoting Busan mainly show images of Haeundae, swimming and southern Seoul, where Gwangan Bridge is taken. It's definitely a nice place, but you might feel like you're in a completely different area when you go outside. However, Nampo-dong/Gwangbok-dong, a busy street that is not necessarily from the eastern mountains, Dongnae-gu, Geumjeong-gu, Yeonje-gu and Hwamyeong-dong in Buk-gu, and Saha-gu are well developed.
It is also called the Mecca of Korean martial arts because of its many shops.
Still, Busan is a huge city with a population of more than 3 million in a single administrative region that spans mountains, rivers, seas, beaches, skyscrapers, new towns and industrial zones.Especially, there are so many mountains in the world that there are not many large cities that are developed as if to scale mountains. So unlike other cities in Korea, the urban landscape itself is very unique.
Industries, especially light industries, were highly developed and famous in the past as the largest shoe production base in the world, but the role of shoe production base has been relegated to China or Southeast Asia since the dissolution of the international group and the high wages of Korean workers since the 1980s, and even the textile industry has been pushed back by air strikes from China and Southeast Asian low-priced textiles, and has been largely withdrawn since the 1997 foreign exchange crisis, but not at all at all. Currently, some industrial bases remain in Saha-gu, Gangseo-gu, Nam-gu and Yeong-gu, and there are Noksan National Industrial Parks across Saha-gu and Gangseo-gu.
If Incheon is a place where there are many Chinese, Busan has relatively many Japanese and Russians often stand out. Inside the block opposite Busan Station is Chinatown, which is not small by domestic standards and has a history from the spoken word, although it is not large in terms of size or recognition, and the Chinese and Russians in Busan tend to be concentrated in the area. Although it is policy-decorated as a Chinatown, there are almost half of the signs written in Cyrillic characters similar to Russian.
