Busan (부산 or 釜山(Korean pronunciation: [busʰan]), officially Busan Metropolitan City),  is South Korea's second largest metropolis after Seoul

The population of the metropolitan area, including the adjacent cities of Gimhae and Yangsan, is approximately 4.6 million.

 It is the largest port city in South Korea and the world's fifth busiest seaport by cargo tonnage.[3] 

The city is located on the southeastern-most tip of the Korean peninsula.

The most densely built up areas of the city are situated in a number of narrow valleys between the Nakdong River and Suyeong River.

Busan has Korea's largest beach and longest river, and is home to the world's largest department store, the Shinsegae Centum City.[6]
