Etymology
Busan comes from the Korean name 부산, written with the characters 釜 'cauldron' or 'pot' and 山 'mountain'. The name likely refers to the bowl-like harbor and the hills around it, so remembering 'cauldron mountain' helps you picture Busan as a busy port set in a natural bowl by the sea. It was often spelled Pusan in older English.
