Fusan, 280 miles from Seoul, is the main gateway for Korea and is the southern terminus of its trunk railway line. It was once the sole channel of traffic between Korea and Japan, there having been a settlement of Japanese here for many years. The port is well protected with a range of hills to the north-west and islands to the south and possesses up-to-date harbour facilities. Ferry services are maintained twice daily with Shimono- seki (about 8 hours), and through express trains run in connection therewith from Fusan through Seoul to Mukden and Hsinking. Fusan has lately be- come the centre of two growing industries new to Korea, the manufacture of enamelled ironware and of electric bulbs, the products of both of which are finding foreign markets. There are also rayon weaving mills and cotton spinning and weaving mill. Fusan has the largest proportion of Japanese residents of any city in Korea, the total population in 1935 being 182,290.
