Fusan, or Pusan, as it is called by the Coreans, is the chief port of Kiung-sang- do, the south-eastern province of Corea, and lies in lat. 35 deg. 6 min. 6 sec. N. and long. 129 deg. 3 min. 2 sec. E. It was opened to Japanese trade in 1876 and to Western nations in 1883. The native town consists of some 550 houses with a population of about 5,000 inhabitants. The Japanese settlement is situated a little distance from the native town, opposite the island of Cholyongdo (Deer Island). It is under the control of the Consul, who is, however, assisted by an elective Municipal Council. The Japanese population in Fusan at the end of 1906 exceeded 15,000, and there were about 3,500 more resident inland in the vicinity of the port. The Seoul-Fusan Rail- way and a daily service of steamers to Japan have combined to make Fusan a great centre of activity, and the volume of trade passing through the port has greatly increased. In connection with the railway a vast scheme of harbour reclamation is being carried out, and this will provide building sites suitable for godowns, which are now sadly deficient. Amongst other works recently completed are the erection of a new municipal hall in the Japanese settlement, the construction of water-works, the instal- lation of electric light, and the making of good roads in the neighbourhood of the foreign quarter.
