In Asia, many scholars recognize that there are only four developed countries, namely Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Israel, among which Japan and South Korea are the most familiar. As China's old neighbors, many young people will choose Japan and South Korea as their tourist destinations, not only to have fun, but also to make some money by shopping and reduce the expenses of traveling abroad.

South Korea is actually a small country, with a land area of less than100000 square kilometers, but its economy is not weak at all. According to the data of 20 18, the total GDP of South Korea has reached 1.6 19 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to about 1 1.43 trillion RMB, which makes South Korea rank first in the world.

In order to feel the differences between the two countries more intuitively, the purpose of my trip is to go to Busan, the second largest city in Korea. Why not go to Seoul? South Korea is a small country and all its resources are invested in Seoul. If I compare with the best, it will be meaningless, so I will drive to and from Busan, South Korea.

Busan is a city in the southeast of Korea, the largest port and the second largest city in Korea. Busan's industry is second only to Seoul's, especially in the fields of machinery, textiles, wood and aquatic products processing, among which the machinery industry is particularly developed. Busan is a big port in South Korea, ranking first in shipbuilding and tire production.

Judging from the city appearance and construction, Busan, South Korea actually gave me a very good impression. This small town with only 769 square kilometers has done a good job in urban construction. Busan is almost aware of the existence of tourism and economy, and vigorously develops tourism with its excellent port, but nearby high-rise buildings are not uncommon.

From an economic point of view, only the relevant data of 16 can be found at present. The data shows that Busan's GDP is close to 70 billion US dollars. If converted into RMB, it is $450 billion. In the same period, the GDP of four first-tier cities in our country was 2.5 trillion, 2.8 trillion, 1.96 trillion, 1.96 trillion respectively.

So how many first-tier cities are Busan, South Korea in our country? According to the survey, there were 38 cities whose GDP exceeded Busan at that time. If they are very close, it is Jining in Shandong and Daqing in Zibo. You know, these cities are not particularly serious cities in Shandong. In other words, if Busan is in Shandong, it is only slightly worse than Jining.

However, there are still many places in Busan that are worse than Jining. The geographical location of Busan is very special, which leads to various modes of transportation in Busan. Similar to Wuhan in our country, Wuhan is the only place in our country that can lead to the world. Busan Gimhae Airport also has direct flights to major cities in the world, and Busan Port also has passenger ships to and from many famous ports. That is to say, Busan is bigger than Wuhan and Jining in transportation.

Although the GDP of Busan is only $70 billion, we should know that the area of Busan is only 769 square kilometers, while the area of Jining is as high as 1. 1 000 square kilometers. Under such conditions, the GDP of Busan can be higher than that of Jining, and the per capita GDP of Busan is very high. In the same period, the per capita GDP of $20,000 has surpassed that of Shanghai at that time.

It is precisely because of this that Busan can rank 76th in the list of the top 500 cities in the world. Many netizens said that these were unexpected. After all, as a developed city, South Korea's GDP in the second largest city is definitely high, but in fact Busan can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary city in our country.
