Busan, Metropolitan harbor city in South Korea
Busan stretches along the southeastern coast of South Korea, featuring numerous beaches, mountains, markets, temples, and modern districts across its 16 administrative regions.
The city transformed from a small fishing village into South Korea's second-largest metropolis after becoming a critical refuge point during the Korean War in 1950.
The Busan International Film Festival brings together filmmakers, artists, and cinema enthusiasts from across Asia in multiple theaters throughout the metropolitan area.
The efficient metro system connects major districts, beaches, and markets, while the KTX high-speed train provides direct access from Seoul in under three hours.
The Jagalchi Fish Market spans multiple floors where female vendors, known as Jagalchi Ajumma, prepare and sell fresh seafood caught daily from local waters.
