This observatory was built in October 2017 and allows visitors to enjoy the view of columnar joints of Yangnam, a national geopark. The columnar joints are formed along the shoreline of Eupcheon-ri in Yangnam-myeon. Several different forms of columnar joints can be observed from columnar joints that point upward to those that fan out or lean to the side. In particular, the fan-shaped columnar joint is a rare sight not only in Korea but also worldwide, and thus has been designated as a Natural Monument in 2012. Visitors can also see informational exhibits on diverse geographical resources at the observatory as well as ask for a detailed guide by the geology commentator on-site.

19.9 Km    13     2024-02-20

86 Heonnyang-gil, Eonyang-eup, Ulju-gun, Ulsan

Eonyang Giwajip Bulgogi is a more than 40-year-old establishment housed in a renovated hanok with a history exceeding 100 years. Eonyang bulgogi is crafted by finely mincing beef, seasoning it with various spices, and grilling it on charcoal until it becomes wide and flat. The use of a gridiron for grilling imparts a distinct smoky flavor, and the mild seasoning contributes to a pleasant texture. When wrapped in fresh vegetables alongside pajeori (green onions), the combination produces an outstanding taste. The doenjang jjigae (soybean paste jjigae) and side dishes, known for their subtle seasoning, offer a clean and refreshing taste.
