Gunsan, Port city in North Jeolla, South Korea
Gunsan extends along the south bank of the Geum River, with a network of islands and maritime facilities that shape its coastal identity.
The city transformed from a fishing village into a major port after opening to international trade in 1899, primarily exporting rice to Japan.
The Saemangeum New Year Festival brings residents to the longest seawall in the world for traditional celebrations and seasonal activities.
Kunsan National University and multiple shopping centers, including the Oldam Public Market, serve the educational and commercial needs of the population.
The Kunsan Air Base, constructed in the 1920s, remains an active military installation that influences the local economy and city development.
