Imagine a giant whale opening its mouth! Approaching it up close will leave you even more amazed by its size.
This place is the Whale Sculpture Park located in the Ulsan Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village.
Recently, the newly opened Wales Cart allows visitors to enjoy both walking and activities in a great atmosphere.
Ulsan offers a fun and thrilling travel experience.
Why are whales here?
If it's your first time visiting Ulsan, you might wonder about this.
Jangsaengpo was once an active whaling area and has a long history with whales. Today, a Whale Culture Special Zone has been established based on this history and culture.
The guide map of the Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village shows various themed areas.
The location of the park being introduced today corresponds to the Whale Sculpture Park located above the Whale Culture Village.
Following the path will naturally lead you there, with signposts installed throughout to make finding it easy.
Even the ordinary signboards feature whales, adding a touch of fun.
Exotic Photo Zone
This area hosts an annual hydrangea festival, making the scenery quite beautiful. The exotic atmosphere is great for taking photos, and except for some facilities, there is no entrance fee, making it easy to visit.
Wales Cart
The building in the large square is where you can ride the Wales Cart. Opened in 2026, it’s a must-see if you’re in Ulsan.
This self-propelling cart runs on a 1.05 km long rail. Unlike regular carts that run on the ground, it floats above the rail, reaching speeds of up to 40 km/h.
While the speed may not seem impressive in numbers, it feels surprisingly fast. The joyful screams of people riding the Wales Cart can be heard while strolling around the Whale Plaza.
The track is not straight but winding, enhancing the thrill. You can enjoy a speedy activity while taking in the scenic views of Ulsan.
If you're looking for an exhilarating experience, I highly recommend it.
The resting area is decorated in purple, adding uniqueness, and you can also watch others riding the carts, providing another layer of enjoyment.
Don't forget to visit the Whale Sculpture Park!
Behind the Wales Cart is the Whale Sculpture Park, where you can encounter models of various whales, including the blue whale and humpback whale.
It's a lively place, especially enjoyable for families with children.
The highlight is a sculpture that allows you to pass through the body of the blue whale, the largest animal in Earth's history.
You can enter its wide-open mouth, where the internal organs of the whale are vividly represented.
This is not just an imaginary space but a realistic implementation of the concept.
It's a space that sparks curiosity not only for children but also for adults.
It's rare to find a travel destination with such a concept, making it a perfect spot for photos to prove you visited Ulsan, which you can proudly share with friends.
Walking around the Wales Cart and Whale Plaza can cover quite a distance, but well-maintained walking paths and rest areas ensure a comfortable experience.
On the way back, you might also catch a glimpse of the Jangsaengpo Monorail.
This is another tourist facility connecting the Whale Museum to the Whale Culture Village, allowing you to explore at a leisurely pace, unlike the speedy Wales Cart.
I hope you enjoy a fun trip to Ulsan's Jangsaengpo, where you can experience both leisurely walks and exciting activities.
