Bucheon (Korean: 부천; Korean pronunciation: [pu.tɕʰʌn]) 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.[2] It is located between Incheon and Seoul.
Bucheon is the second most densely populated city in South Korea after Seoul,[3] and as a result, administrative districts were abolished in July 2016 in favor of providing greater public service in community centers.[3]
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.
