Daewangam Park in Ulsan is not only home to beautiful seas and pine forests but also features the historic Ulgi Lighthouse, which has stood the test of time.
The old lighthouse tower holds significant historical value, having been registered as a national cultural heritage site.
Today, I will introduce you to a special lighthouse journey within Daewangam Park.
To visit, simply head to Daewangam Park.
Ulgi Lighthouse is located along the walking path to Daewangam. I recommend exploring the nearby attractions, such as the suspension bridge and Yonggul Cave.
To reach the lighthouse, you will pass through a beautiful forest path. Brown leaves have begun to fall, signaling the arrival of autumn.
As you walk along the path, the white lighthouse will come into view. You might wonder why there are two lighthouses. The one in front is the old tower, while the taller one behind is the new operational lighthouse.
You can learn more about the history of Ulgi Lighthouse by reading the information board. The lighthouse has been illuminating since 1906 and has undergone several renovations. In 1987, a new tower, 24 meters tall, was built next to the old one, which has since retired from its role.
At the entrance, there is a fun magic mirror that distorts your reflection. I recommend taking a moment to enjoy it.
The old tower has a unique octagonal shape with layered structures. The combination of its white exterior and black railing retains the charm of an ancient lighthouse.
A sign indicating its status as a cultural heritage site is also present. Although it no longer functions as a lighthouse, its preservation allows visitors to closely examine its historical features.
Behind the old lighthouse is the Lighthouse Maritime Culture Space, where you can experience indoor exhibitions. It includes a rest area, a 4D cinema, and a rooftop observatory, making it a great spot for families with children.
There is also an interesting program called the AR Lighthouse Stamp Tour, where you can collect stamps from various lighthouse maritime culture spaces across the country using your smartphone. If you love lighthouses, this could become a new travel goal for you.
On the first floor of the Lighthouse Maritime Culture Space, there is a photo exhibition themed around lighthouses. Each photograph is stunning and showcases the artist's passion and effort, making it a visual treat.
