South Korea's second city and principal port, Busan combines a dynamic urban waterfront with hillside residential neighbourhoods, sandy beaches, and a seafood market culture unmatched anywhere in the country. Jagalchi fish market, Gamcheon Culture Village clinging to a terraced hillside, and the Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches each represent a different dimension of a city that rewards extended exploration.
