Travelc: Busan

Busan South Korea

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea and is located in the south-eastern province of South Gyeongsang. Busan was the host city of the 2002 Asian Games and APEC 2005 Korea. Tourism in Busan has been increasing rapidly in recent years, and its tourist attractions are very interesting. One of them is the famous Centum Shopping Zone. It is also an entertainment complex equipped with various facilities for shopping, spa, and movies, etc. The streets in the zone are lined with restaurants where you can try different foods and see various types of exhibitions and performances. These exhibitions and performances are held in BEXCO, a multi-cultural exhibition centre. Another major tourist attraction is the Busan Cinema Center, which is the first video multi-cultural space in the world where films and performance arts are integrated. It is the symbol of Busan and a film city. It is also the venue for the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF). The building is equipped with three movie theatres and a multi-purpose performance hall. The building also contains over 120,000 LED lights under the world's largest roofed stage, providing a fantastic sight at night. In Igidae Galmaet-gil, you can take a beautiful 3-hour tour. The coastal walking path passes along gentle cliffs that look down over the ocean. The course covers a 3.95-km stretch running from Dongsaengmal, Eoulmadang, Nong Rock to Oryuk Islets Sunrise Park. Where Gwangan Bridge ends, there is Bunpo, which used to be a salt farm. Over Bunpo, you see the green mountain ahead of you at Igidae Park. Some spectacular views from Nong Rock to Oryuk Islets are the essence of Igidae Park.
