Texas Street (Korean: 텍사스거리) or Texas Town (텍사스촌) is a red-light district and ethnic enclave in Dong District, Busan, South Korea. The area is just outside Busan station, and right next to the Busan Chinatown area.The area once was a scenic beach area that catered towards Chinese ambassadors and merchants. Around this time, it was called Cheonggwan Street. Beginning around 1945, it became a red light district that provided a variety of services, although namely drinking and prostitution, to American soldiers in the area. The area has since shifted locations and decreased in size somewhat, especially after the 1953 Busan Station Fire. The area's character has changed since the late 1980s. Fewer American troops were stationed nearby (U.S. Navy and Marines were prohibited from entering circa 2018), and more Russian sailors arrived. The area began to cater less towards entertainment, and more towards normal businesses. Hundreds of Russians and Koryo-saram (ethnic Koreans of the former Soviet Union) began moving into the area, making it an ethnic enclave. However, the area has still retained some of its red-light district nature, despite government efforts.
