The construction of Terminal 2 is a part of the expansion work level 3. Terminal 2 will be about 11 kilometers away from Terminal 1 and it will be connected by the underground monorails. It will be slightly smaller than the previous terminal, and it will have 65 passenger gates and 21 cargo gates.
In the east Asian culture, Phoenix is the symbol of "a reign of peace", "the harmony of Yin Yang". On Yeongjong island, the meeting of two Phoenix birds will mean something special. The construction of Terminal 2 is a part of the expansion work level 3. Terminal 2 will be about 11 kilometers away from Terminal 1 and it will be connected by the underground monorails. It will be slightly smaller than the previous terminal, and it will have 65 passenger gates and 21 cargo gates. Between the two wings, a park and an airport hotel will open. The construction will start in May 2013 and the terminal will fully open in early 2018. When it opens, experts expect that Incheon airport will be able to hold 2.5 times more passengers than Kansai airport, which is one of its competitor in the East Asia.

These two full curtain-wall residential complexes are formidable competitors to each other. The Zenith is 8-meter taller (80 levels) but I'Park Marina has a better harbor view. The Zenith Square will be a brand new luxury hall representing the luxury market in Busan, and Park Hyatt Busan in I'Park Marina will be one of the trendiest hotels with its luxurious interior and breathtaking ocean view rooms. Personally, I prefer I'Park as it is the masterpiece of the great master of this era, Daniel Libeskind. Anyhow, they are changing the skyline of Busan totally. We have three more months to see the whole complex to be finished and the process seems totally fine so far. Soon they will cover the ceiling of the Big Roof with 42 thousand LED lights. The upcoming BIFF (Busan International Film Festival) will be totally epic. This year, it will be pretty difficult to get tickets, so you'd better hurry. It has already been six years since Park Hyatt Seoul opened in 2005, and the Hyatt Group is opening another one in Busan. They are planning to open in March, 2013 and the construction progress is about 20% now. The Park Hyatt Busan is a 34-story glass building and has 268 rooms. The building was designed by Daniel Libeskind, the American architect of Jewish-Polish descent and the whole interior is the work of the famous Japanese interior firm, "Super Potato". |
