Car Hire Gimhae - Mini guide to Gimhae

Gimhae, also pronounced as ‘Kimhae’ is a former royal city in the South Gyeongsang Province of South Korea. It houses the outsized Gimhae Kim clan, one of the largest Kim clans in all of Korea.

Gimhae Kim Clans claim that they are descents of Geumgwan Gaya, an ancient royal house/family which was based in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang province of South Korea. Gimhae is also the birth place of the 16th and president of South Korea, President Roh Moo-hyun.

Owing to its location on the Southern region of South Korea, Gimhae enjoys a mildly sunny climate in contrast to Seoul and other northern Korean cities. In fact, Gimhae having a coastline means it is greatly influenced by the coastal climate, which makes Gimhae the mildest region in Korea. The annual standard temperature in Gimhae is recorded to be 15°C and receives an average of 1200mm rainfall per year. The best time to visit Gimhae would be in late March or early April, as springs in Gimhae are temperate and pleasurable.

Gimhae plays host to one of South Korea’s largest flowering industries. Its mild and temperate climate and plenty of rainfall make it the perfect conditions to cultivate flowers. Gimhae and Busan, including its neighboring cities are involved in exporting large amounts of flowers to a number of countries around the globe. Moreover, the Gimhae city in the South Gyeongsang province of South Korea has developed its own breed of Korean wild roses known as ‘Spray’.

Gimhae Airport is one of the most active airports in the region with an estimated 9 million users every year. It possesses all the modern facilities that an airport is expected to have, also offers a number of conveniences for passengers.
