South Gyeongsang Province Travel Information
 
South Gyeongsang Province contains some of Korea's most spectacular scenes along the country's
southeast coastline, especially inside the Hallyeo Haesang National Park. With
Busan (the country's major port
and second largest city) and Geoje Island (Korea's 4th largest island and home to some of the
country's biggest shipbuilding sites), the area has a high level of development and
industrialization to complement its rich tourism industry.
Due to its location, much of the area escaped the ravages from the Korean War, although many
refugees escaped to the area and ended up settling here, especially in Busan. Being the closest
part of Korea to Japan, the region also has a long history of Japanese influence. Even today,
the area is the first to import the latest Japanese pop culture and fads.
