Sightseeing Point - Daewongam Park

Daewongam Park

Ulgi Park is a seaside park located on the east coast, and has a walk, and Daewongam’s refreshing scenery.  
Ulgi Park has a pine forest trail path, about 1km long, going from the parking lot right up to the seashore.  The forest is considered one of the great Haesong forests, and during the walk you can see cherry blossoms, magnolias, camellias, apricots, and forsythias, which make the road very beautiful in the spring.  Once you are out on the beach, you can see many interesting shapes of the seaside rocks.  So very interesting are some of their shapes that compliments get uttered without thought.  When you go to the seaside rocks, there is whalebone’s jawbone standing up, and you can tell that Wolsan used to be famous for whale hunting.  Go past the whale jaw bone and walk for a bit, and you will come across Daewongam.  Daewongam is a large rock island, but because it has been connected to the mainland with an iron bridge, you can easily cross it.  Once you have crossed over to Daewongam, on the eastern end is an observation tower, where you can enjoy a clear unobstructed view of the scenery.  Come out of Daewongam, and go in the opposite direction of the pine forest trail, and you will come across Ulgi Park’s stroll path.  When you have walked about half of the distance, you can see the Ulgi Lighthouse, which acts as a guide to ships in the East sea.  
Daeam is named so because Silla’s King Munmu (30th king, reign 661~681), who unified the entire Korean peninsula, was buried at this place.  Some people say that the real Daewongam, tomb of King Munmu, is at the seashore of Gameunsaji in Gyeongju.  Daewongam has the shape of a dragon rising up to the sky, and because it fell trying to rise up, it is also called Yongchuam.  It is a very beautiful place, where the blue sea and the dark red rocks blend in perfectly.

Sightseeing Point - Ganjeolgot Cape

Ganjeolgot Cape

The sunrise along the East Coast can be viewed earliest at Ganjeolgot Point in Daesong-ri, Seosaeng-myun, Uljin-gun. The breathtaking view of the sunrise can be seen a minute earlier than Homigot Point in Yeongilman Bay and five minutes earlier than Jeongdongjin in Gangneung. Ganjeolgot Point is in the spotlight as a new tourist attraction along with Jinha Beach and Seosaengpo Fortress. The lighthouse is located 20 minutes away from the entrance to Ulsan Nambu Ring Road. When acacias bloom along the coast from Ulsan to Haeundae Beach in Busan, the road is filled with its subtle perfume. This road is perfect as a driving course with the combination of beautiful white acacia trees in the hills and the occasional appearance of the sea. Enjoy the tremendous scenery of the invigorating sea and the misty view of the hills. Although it is only 20 minutes away from Ulsan Nambu Ring Road, the scenic beauty contributes to the exotic look.

Sightseeing Point - Shin-myung Jeong-ja Beach

Shin-myung Jeong-ja Beach

For those hoping for a view of the winter sea, or those longing for the engulfing embrace of the clear dark-blue waves crashing into the huge rocks, this is the place to be. When one thinks about the beach, most people are reminded of Sokcho, Gangneung, Donghae and Samcheok in Gangwon-do. Nevertheless, many tourists seek the east coast that spreads from Jujeon in Uljin to Gampo. The costal road, with beautiful scenery of sea and mountains, is a popular driving route. With diverse nearby attractions, many vacationers are attracted to the beach during the winter.
