Hello, this is Kim Jong-hee, a reporter for the Ulsan Nuri Blog!
The heat has subsided a bit, making it much more pleasant to be active.
Today, I visited the Ulsan World Food Culture Center to enjoy the weekend.
I've heard a lot from those who have been there, and with the nice weather, it turned out to be a delightful outing.
The Ulsan World Food Culture Center is the first culinary space built on a bridge in the country, located on the Ulsan Bridge, which crosses the Taehwa River.
It offers stunning riverside views and a chance to enjoy foods from around the world, making it a new landmark in Ulsan.
The sky was clear and the gentle river breeze made my visit worthwhile.
Many people were walking on the Ulsan Bridge, connecting Nam-gu and Jung-gu.
The Ulsan Bridge is a symbolic space in Ulsan, showcasing the river's beautiful nature and sunsets.
The World Food Culture Center consists of four temporary structures built on the upper part of the Ulsan Bridge.
Visitors can enjoy open river views during the day and vibrant city nightscapes while dining, providing a unique experience.
There are stairs leading down from the bridge, frequented by cyclists, walkers, and runners.
There are many spots to appreciate the beautiful Taehwa River, so be sure to enjoy them before and after your meal!
The parking lot is also accessible via these stairs.
At the World Food Culture Center, you can taste cuisines from six countries: Uzbekistan, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and Italy.
Both entrances from Jung-gu and Nam-gu are accessible.
If you walk from the Nam-gu entrance towards Jung-gu, you will find the café in Building 1, followed by restaurants serving Uzbek and Mexican food in Building 2, Thai and Vietnamese food in Building 3, and Japanese and Italian food in Building 4, making it easy to stroll around.
I parked at the Gangbuk Public Parking Lot and entered from Jung-gu, so my order was the reverse.
The Uzbek restaurant offers Galandski, beef stir-fried with special seasoning topped with cheese, and traditional bread called non.
At the Mexican restaurant, you can enjoy a variety of dishes, including birria tacos.
The Thai restaurant has a colorful menu featuring pad thai and som tam, making it fun to choose what to eat.
In the Japanese and Italian restaurants, you can find casual dishes like chicken nanban and panini.
My visit to the World Food Culture Center on a beautiful weekend was refreshing, and it was a special time feeling the pleasant river breeze while walking.
The staff at the Vietnamese restaurant were busy preparing food, creating a lively atmosphere.
In the Haewool Cafe, senior baristas welcomed guests warmly, adding to the cozy vibe.
There were many customers at the Haewool Cafe, reflecting the popularity of the World Food Culture Center.
Some places were temporarily closed due to the heat, but they will reopen soon, so it's good to check before visiting.
There are plenty of seating options on the bridge, including shaded tables and standing tables for outdoor dining.
This allowed me to enjoy my takeout while overlooking the river.
Overall, I had a great time tasting delicious food while enjoying the open views of the Taehwa River.
However, I noticed that visitors arriving by bicycle had to dismount to enter, but many just zipped by.
I almost collided with an electric bicycle, which was a bit alarming.
Since this space is shared by many, it would be great if everyone could adhere to the usage rules.
Ulsan is rapidly increasing its multicultural population, mainly due to its manufacturing and shipbuilding industries.
The World Food Culture Center was created to provide emotional comfort to foreign residents with flavors from home and to offer citizens the opportunity to experience global culinary culture.
It is expected that food will facilitate more local exchanges and communication.
The World Food Culture Center operates daily from 11 AM to 8 PM, except on Mondays.
For public transport, the nearest bus stops are at the riverside public parking lot or Seongnam-dong.
If you are driving, the Gangbuk Public Parking Lot is available, with a convenient rate of 500 won for 30 minutes.
How about taking a stroll along the Taehwa River in the cool weather and enjoying a special and leisurely time tasting foods from around the world?
