Busan South Korea

Busan (also named as Pusan) is the second largest city of South Korea. Its fame is due to numerous festivals, exhibitions, and events. For this reason, most of its visitors go there for a specified purpose such as the International Film Festival, not general touristic travel though Busan's Haeundae Beach is a popular summer seaside resort for Koreans. Busan is not far away from Seoul and can be easily reached by the excellent KTX rail system in a little over 2 hours and home to the International Ferry Terminal serving Fukuoka, Shimonoseki, and even Osaka.
