Yangsan (Korean pronunciation: [jaŋ.san]) is a city in Gyeongsangnam-do Province, South Korea.
Currently, Yangsan is made up of 1 Eup (administrative division), 4 Myeon (administrative division), and 7 Dong. There are plans, however, to create a new Ungsang-eup, which would include 4 dong.
Yangsan is home to several attractions, including Tongdosa Temple, Yangsan Tower, and Yangsan Stadium.
Yangsan has two stations on the Gyeongbu Line: Mulgeum Station (물금역) and Wondong Station (원동역). The nearest KTX stations are Ulsan Station in Ulsan and Gupo Station in Busan.
Busan Subway Line 2 serves the city, with four stations currently operating: Yangsan Station, Namyangsan Station, Busan National University Yangsan Campus Station and Hopo Station. Two additional stations are currently planned.
The city of Yangsan is served by a local bus system. In addition to serving the city itself, there are long-distance local buses to Busan, as well as inter-city lines connecting to Ulsan, Changwon, Gyeongju, and several other cities.
