Busan Chinatown

부산 차이나타운

Dong-gu, Busan · 부산

The quarter opposite Busan Station, entered under a Chinese gate, holding a century-old Chinese community and, on the parallel street, a Russian-signed strip serving the port.

Why it’s worth it

Two immigrant histories one block apart, both driven by the harbour. Eat the hand-pulled noodles rather than the tourist-facing jjajangmyeon.
