old and new Busan Station, Korea,


Busan is the southern terminus of the Gyeongbu Line, the most important railway line in South Korea, which links Busan with Seoul in just under three hours, using the KTX line, Korea's high speed rail system. Construction of the new KTX convex curved, glass front Busan terminal began in 2001 and was completed in 2003. The new station covers 24,646 square meters (265,287 square feet) and has 11 elevators, 10 escalators, PC area, waiting and vending areas. The main entrance opens up to a large park-like area surrounding the front of the station to the west. (old postcard and wikimedia pic)
