Welcome to Busan

The most famous city in South Korea is of course Seoul, the capital of South Korea. However, If you are going to visit South Korean, I want to recommend Busan for traveling. Welcome to Busan.

Busan is the second large city in South Korea and has many nick names such as the second capital of South Korea, Harbor city and the city of romance. I think you might get some idea of Busan from these nick name. That's right. Busan is near the sea and a really famous place for summer vacation.

Busan is the biggest harbor city in South Korean. It did a great role during South Korea's developing processing. And also, it was city which had a lot of fundamental structures of industry in Korea. However, it's now turing into the city for traveling.

The most famous place in Busan is of course Haeundae beach. It's one of most famous and beautiful beach over South Korea. Millions people visit here every year not only Korean but also lots of visitors. 



And also near Haeundae, you can find a beautiful bridge called Gwangan. This bridge is kind of symbol of  Busan.

Of course, you can't miss the food here. You can enjoy a variety of sea foods here. The most popular one is row fish. People in Busan really enjoy row fish because it's easy to get fresh fish and also it's quiet cheep. And also there are several foods you can eat only in Busan. This is Milmyun, kind of Cold Noodles but the ingredient is different. Actually, cold noodles is originated from North part of Korea, Hamhueng. During Korean civil war, Busan was a temporally capital of South Korea. In that time, South Korea only had Busan. The other land of the Korean peninsula was belonging to the North. So, many people from many different places were getting together in Busan. Of course, there were people from Hamhueng. they wanted to make their hometown food, Cold Noddles, however, it was hard to find the original ingredient, buckwheat powder, during the war. Instead, they just used flour which was relatively easy to get. And this one has left until now as one of unique foods of Busan.
