Pusan Holidays Overview
The city of Pusan, better known as Busan is a port city in the country of South Korea. The government of South Korea actually made “Busan” the official spelling in English. It is the largest port in South Korea and fifth largest in the globe. Located on the southern most tip of the Korean Peninsula, Pusan has a population of roughly 3.6 million people.
The city hosted the 2002 Asian games as well as co hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup. It is also bidding to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. Compared to the massive Seoul city, the capital of South Korea, Busan is more laid back and has a much more natural scene to it.
Busan has a humid sub tropical climate and does not experience temperature extremes. However, a point to note is that on a number of occasions in the past, the city has been hit by typhoons and hurricanes which caused untold damage. The worst was in 1959 with Super Typhoon Sarah and most recently in September 2003 when Hurricane Maemi hit.
