Busan, a bustling city of approximately 3.7 million residents, is
located on the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula. The size of
Busan is 765.10km² which is 0.8% of the whole land of the Korean
Peninsula. The natural environment of Busan is a perfect example of
harmony between mountains, rivers and sea. Its geography includes a
coastline with superb beaches and scenic cliffs, mountains which
provide excellent hiking and extraordinary views, and hot springs
scattered throughout the city. Busan enjoys four distinct seasons and
a temperate climate that never gets too hot or too cold.Busan is the
second largest city in Korea. Its deep harbor and gentle tides have
allowed it to grow into the largest container handling port in the
country and the fifth largest in the world. In the coming years,
capacity is set to grow further with the opening of the New Port. The
city’s natural endowments and rich history have resulted in Busan’s
increasing reputation as a world class city of tourism and culture,
and it is also becoming renowned as an international convention
destination.
