About Busan
City overview
Busan is South Korea's port city where mountains, beaches, fish markets, and ferry terminals sit along a long coast. Most visitor routes move between Haeundae, Gwangalli, Nampo-dong, Jagalchi, Seomyeon, Gamcheon, and the Beomeosa-Geumjeong mountain edge.
Food & drink
Busan food is port-city direct: dwaeji gukbap is pork-and-rice soup, milmyeon is cold wheat noodles in broth, and ssiat hotteok is a seed-filled sweet pancake sold hot from market stalls. Jagalchi Fish Market, Gukje Market, Ggangtong Market, Haeundae Market, Millak raw-fish market, and Seomyeon soup shops add eomuk fish cakes, raw fish, grilled eel, and market seafood.
