Geoje, Island city in South Gyeongsang, South Korea.

Geoje extends across multiple islands in the South Sea, featuring eleven mountains and numerous beaches along its extensive 250-kilometer coastline.

The city gained strategic importance during the Korean War when it housed a prisoner-of-war camp, which now stands as a historical museum.

The Geoje Shipbuilding Marine Cultural Center displays the maritime heritage through exhibits about vessel construction techniques and local seafaring traditions.

Regular bus services connect Geoje to Busan within one hour, while ferries provide access to smaller surrounding islands such as Oedo.

The world's largest shipyards employ one-third of Geoje's workforce, creating an international community with numerous Western expatriates.
