Busan is Korea's
second largest city with close to 4 million people. It also serves as the country's main port
for international cargo, as well as passenger ferries to Japan and Jeju Island. The city is
famous for its seafood and beaches, as well as the Hallyosudo Waterway with its
picturesque islands. The Busan fish market has a huge selection of fresh seafood in the early
morning. Although primarily known as a port, the city has many steep hills, creating a very
unusual mix of mountains and ocean. The area remained relatively untounched during the
Korean War, but the flood of refugees drastically shaped the city. The stadium, who
symbolizes a globe, is in preparation for the 2002 World Cup and the Asian Games (also takes place in 2002).
