Marine City

Marine City (마린시티) in Haeundae-gu is Busan's most dramatic skyline district — a dense cluster of supertall residential and hotel towers rising from reclaimed land beside the sea. The iconic Weve the Zenith (72 floors), I'Park Marina, and LCT The Sharp towers define the Busan skyline visible from Gwangalli Beach and Dongbaek Island. The waterfront promenade is a pleasant evening stroll with the towers reflected in the marina, and numerous upscale restaurants and bars line the ground floors. Directly adjacent is APEC Naru Park and the APEC Nurimaru house where the 2005 APEC summit was held. Marine City also marks the western edge of Haeundae Beach, making it easy to combine with a beach visit. Photographed endlessly from Gwangalli at night.
