This was my first time in Ulsan, South Korea’s seventh largest metropolitan city. It is the industrial powerhouse of South Korea with the world’s largest automobile assembly plant, operated by Hyundai Motor Company, a d the world’s largest shipyard, operated by Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Daewangam Park is a resting place in Ilsan, Dong-gu in the city of Ulsan. The total area covers 942,000 square metres, and there is a sand field in Ilsan Beach next to the park. Daewangam Park Suspension Bridge is the first suspension bridge in Ulsan and the first large-scale commercial tourism facility in Dong-gu. It was created with a length of 303 meters, connecting Hatgaebi and Surubang coastal trails in Daewangam Park. The bridge connects at once without intermediate supports, and currently, the span length is the longest among the suspension bridges in the country. Because it is a bridge over the sea, visitors can enjoy the exciting coastal scenery around Daewangam.
Daewangam Park is a seaside park located on the east coast. The park has a walking trail that passes by a forest of pine, cherry blossom trees, magnolias, camellias, apricots, and forsythia. This park is located at the end of the southeasternmost point facing the East Sea, and has a lighthouse that serves as a marker for fishermen and sailors out on the sea. The park is also home to Daewangam Rock that looks like a dragon rising up into the sky. It is connected to the mainland with an iron bridge and has an observation tower.
Daegwanggyo Bridge, which connects land and Daewangam, was built and donated by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. in 1995.
The rocks are truly beautiful and spectacular. It’s worth a visit.
