11 New Attractions in Busan Coming Soon
Busan is transforming itself and it's looking astounding.
Busan is the second-largest city in South Korea. 2020 was not a great start for everyone. People who intended to visit Korea had to cancel their trips; this goes to other countries as well. But, as long as everyone stands firm, the epidemic will be under control soon. When that happens, everyone will be able to travel wherever they please. Let's pray that day will come soon.
When you next visit Busan you are in for a treat! They are constructing new attractions and facilities that will draw thousands of people from all over the world. Let's go and find out what they are building.
