Colourful Gamcheon village, the freshest sashimi, and South Korea's most laid-back coastal city.
Busan is South Korea's second-largest city and its main port — Haeundae Beach is Korea's most popular beach resort, Gamcheon Culture Village is a colourful art village on a steep hillside, and Jagalchi is Asia's largest fish market. Seoul is just 2.5 hours away by KTX express train. Autumn is the time of the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF).
