Changwon, SOUTH KOREA

Changwon is a city in and the capital of South Gyeongsang Province in South Korea. The city is approximately 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Busan, and has a population of approximately 550 000.

It is the only planned city in Korea. It was established in 1974 to be an industrial and residential centre, and also as the future provincial capital and has grown since this time. Unlike most other Korean cities that are just urban sprawl, Changwon has many parks and gardens throughout the city which gives it a much different feel.

The city has two large department stores, Lotte and Daedong, and also an EMart and Homeplus. There are also 20 cinema screens in the city spread between three recently built western-style cinemas - Lotte, CGV and MegaLine.

Perhaps the most well-known tourist site is the Junam Reservior which is an important bird migration site and the largest in Korea. During the peak winter season on average 30-40,000 birds a day can be seen there.

Changwon as a hub of factories for many major companies including Samsung, GM-Daewoo and LG Electronics.
