Busan City
South Korea
Febuary 3, 2011
Busan city is South Korea's second largest metropolis after Seoul. Located in the South of South Korea, the city has a population of around 3.6 million. It is also the largest port city in South Korea, and the fifth largest port in the world.
With its beautiful beach scenery close by, Busan city has experience hosting international events such as the 2002 Asian Games, and APEC in 2005. In 2005 November, the city officially announced its bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games too.
So what is in Busan other than the beach and such international hosting history? You'll be surprised but the city is also full of rich and well dressed people. As I walk the street, I'm surprised constantly how well dressed Busan people are. There are nice cafes and restaurants that I would usually expect in Seoul, and many are sitting enjoying their typical meals here. The city is crowded with foreigners too. As you walk the street it's common to see Indian, Caucasian, and even Japanese or Chinese.
It was good to come for a relaxing vacation over the Korean new year.
Busan is a city indeed, and a relaxing one to enjoy for food, culture, and nature.
If you have a weekend to spend, you should book your ticket to Busan please.
The night view of Busan beach is just beautiful
