Ulsan Bulgogi & Sea Road — From Eonyang to Jeongja Port
Ulsan is a city where you can enjoy both the Unyang and Bonggye Hanwoo Bulgogi special zones and seaside cuisine. Since Unyang and Bonggye are located 30 to 40 minutes by car from the city center, a rental car or personal vehicle is essential; they differ in style, with Bonggye specializing in salt-grilled beef and Unyang in marinated bulgogi. Jeongja Port is particularly crowded during the winter snow crab season, so arriving before lunch on weekends is recommended. In the city center, you can wrap up your trip at Sinjeong Market with Ulsan mulhoe and other market foods.
