[Sea]
Busan is surrounded by a coastline that extends about 250km from Gijang County to Gadeokdo Island and includes more than 40 deserted islands. Busan's ocean which has a dynamic energy to transform itself into something different each season, still retains its strength and beauty despite ongoing development and industrialization.
[Film]
Considering the number of times that Busan has been selected as a shooting location, as well as its unique sentiment, Busan has been the most beloved spot for Korean films. Busan is the city that also has enriched limitless film-related imaginations and is a place that has always been connected with films.
[Song]
Songs of Busan contain the sentiments of life. Busan proudly sings as a painting presented on the canvas, as a regular magazine with writings and images, and as various experimental music.
[Baseball]
In Busan, baseball is not simply a sport and a seagull is not just a sea bird. The moment the hitter hits the ball, the passion of Busan's citizens explodes through their enthusiastic shouts.
[Alley]
Alleyways that connect houses in the steep mountain slopes of Busan contain the stories of people’s days and lives as every day passes. Alleyways are the origin of Busan's roads that come winding down from the hills and connect with the bigger roads which then meet the river before finally going out to the ocean.
