General Information
Location
The topography of Jung-gu resembles a compact version of Busan. The city has outstanding features, with rising mountain peaks and an expansive ocean before it. The peak of Bosusan Mountain juts majestically into the sky. Its ridges are linked to the peak of Gubongsan Mountain in the north. Jung-gu looks over an expanse of blue water from the Busan Port to the south face Although Yongdusan Mountain is now considered an independent hill right in the bosom of Jung-gu, it was originally linked to the peaks of the Bokbyeongsan Mountain ridge to the north.
