Busan is South Korea's second-largest city and its largest port, home to approximately 3.4 million city residents. Like all of South Korea, it operates on Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9), a fixed year-round offset. Busan's port is the fifth-busiest container port in the world by throughput — a critical gateway for South Korea's export-driven economy. The city is dramatically set between mountains and sea — its Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, backed by urban skyline, rank among the world's most unusual urban beach landscapes. Busan Film Festival (BIFF), held annually in October, is Asia's most prestigious film festival. The city hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup in partnership with Seoul. The Busan International Film Festival has launched the careers of numerous Asian directors and made the city the cinema capital of Asia. Gamcheon Culture Village — a hillside neighbourhood of colourful houses — has been transformed into an open-air art installation.
