Busan (Korean: 부산; pronounced [pusan]), officially Busan Metropolitan City, is South Korea's second largest city. It has a population of over 3.3 million people as of 2024. Busan was once known as Pusan.

This city is a major center for business, culture, and education in southeastern South Korea. Its port is the busiest in South Korea and the sixth busiest in the world. The area around Busan, including cities like Ulsan and Daegu, forms South Korea's largest industrial zone.

Busan is divided into 15 main areas called districts and one county. Most of the city is built in narrow valleys between the Nakdong River and the Suyeong River. Mountains separate many of these districts. The Nakdong River is Korea's longest river. Haeundae Beach in Busan is also the country's largest beach.

Busan is a popular place for international meetings. It hosted an APEC summit in 2005. The city is also a big sports hub, having hosted the 2002 Asian Games and some matches for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. You can find the world's largest department store, Shinsegae Centum City, here. In 2014, Busan was recognized by UNESCO as a "City of Film" for its movie industry.

Understanding the Name "Busan"

The name "Busan" comes from the Korean name used since the late 1400s. It officially replaced the older spelling Pusan in 2000. During the time when Japan ruled Korea, the city's name was pronounced "Fuzan" in Japanese.

The Korean name 釜山 (now written 부산) means "Cauldron Mountain." People believe this was an old name for Mt. Hwangnyeong, a mountain west of the city center. An ancient state in the area, Mt. Geochil, also likely referred to this same mountain.

A Look at Busan's Past

The area where Busan is today has been home to people for a very long time.

• Ancient Times: People lived here during the Neolithic period, using stone tools and fishing for food. Later, in the Bronze Age, people started farming.
• Early Kingdoms: Around the first century, a small kingdom called Koch'ilsan-guk existed here. It later became part of the Silla kingdom and was renamed Dongnae-gun in 757. The famous Buddhist temple Beomeosa was built in 835.
• Goryeo Period: During the Goryeo period (918–1392), the Dongnae Jeong family became important in Korean politics. The hot springs in Dongnae were already well-known. Towards the end of this period, Japanese pirates (called wokou) often attacked. A fortress called Dongnaeeupseong was built to protect the area.
• Joseon Dynasty and Japanese Trade: In 1423, the port of Busan was opened. A special area called a waegwan was set up for Japanese traders. This area was sometimes closed and reopened.
• Japanese Invasions: During the Japanese invasions in the late 1500s, several fortresses in Busan fought back. Many civilians also joined volunteer armies. After the war, Busan was rebuilt, and trade with Japan restarted.
• Later Joseon Period: In 1605, the Songgongsa shrine was built to honor those who died defending Korea. It was later renamed Chungnyeolsa. In 1763, Busan was the first place in Korea to get sweet potatoes, which came from Japan's Tsushima Island.
• Opening to the World: In 1876, Busan became Korea's first international port under the Treaty of Ganghwa. This meant foreign ships could come and go. Consulates from Japan, China, and the UK were set up. In 1908, Busan was connected to the rest of Korea by train. A ferry service to Japan also started in 1909.
• Japanese Colonial Period: From 1910 to 1945, Japan ruled Korea. During this time, Busan grew into a major trading port with Japan. It was the only city in Korea to use steam trams before electric ones.
• Korean War: During the Korean War (1950-1953), Busan was one of the few cities in South Korea that the North Korean army did not capture. Because of this, many Koreans sought safety there, and Busan became a huge refugee camp site. For a while, it even served as the temporary capital of South Korea. UN troops created a defense line around the city called the Pusan Perimeter.
• Modern Busan: In 1963, Busan became a self-governing city, separate from South Gyeongsang Province. It has continued to grow and develop its unique urban style.

Busan's Location and Weather

Busan is located at the very southeastern tip of the Korean Peninsula. Its coastal location has greatly shaped how the city developed. Seoul is about 314 kilometers (195 miles) away.

Busan is surrounded by low mountains to the north and west. The Korea Strait is to its south and east. The Nakdong River Delta is on the west side, and Geumjeongsan, the city's highest mountain, is to the north. The Nakdong River, Korea's longest river, flows through the west and into the Korea Strait. The region around Busan is called Yeongnam.

The closest overseas land to Busan is Tsushima Island in Japan, about 49.5 kilometers (30.8 miles) away. The closest part of mainland Japan is Fukuoka, about 180 kilometers (112 miles) away. Busan and Fukuoka are also sister cities.

Busan has a humid subtropical climate, which means it has warm, humid summers and mild winters. Very hot or very cold temperatures are rare. The highest temperature ever recorded was 37.3°C (99.1°F) in August 2016. The lowest was -14.0°C (6.8°F) in January 1915.
