Since the war, the city underwent explosive growth and the population increased tenfold. The main industries of Daegu are textiles, metals and machine building. Daegu is known for the quality of its apples and for having the most winners of the Miss Korea beauty pageant. The most popular tourist destinations in Daegu are Apsan (a mountainous park with trails), Buddhist temples, a Korean War museum, and a gondola ride to the peak of Palgongsan, which houses many historic Buddhist temples, including Pagyesa and Donghwasa.

Pusan also boasts scenic views of nature with the Nakdong River bordering the ocean at the south. Its landscape includes a coastline of fine beaches, scenic islets and tall mountains. The world famous Chalgalchi Market, near the very active port, is an area of narrow street stalls and is well known for its fish. The Pusan International Film Festival is held annually and attracts movie enthusiasts from around the world.

Jeju-do Jeju-do is the premier tourist destination and honeymoon spot in Korea because of the stunning natural scenery and superior tourist amenities. Scenic beaches, waterfalls, cliffs and caves along with the mild weather make Jeju-do an ideal tourist destination.

Gwangju Gwangju is mentioned in travel journals as a transportation hub. There is a great deal to see for any visitor or teacher.
