Bucheon (Korean pronunciation: [ˈpu.tsʰʌn]) is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Bucheon is located 25 kilometers (16 mi) away from Seoul, of which it is a satellite city.[1] It is located between Incheon and Seoul.
Bucheon is the second most densely populated city in South Korea after Seoul,[2] and as a result, administrative districts were abolished in July 2016 in favor of providing greater public service in community centers.[2]
Major manufacturing operations are located in the northern areas of the city, while the areas in the south where Seoul Subway Line 7 and Seoul Subway Line 1 pass are dense commercial and residential areas.
