Ulsan is a big city, with a population of 1. Ulsan is not a something related to tourism. But Ulsan is the industrial dynamo for South Korea, and has the biggest automobile assembly plant operated by Hyundai Motor Company, the world's largest shipyard operated by Hyundai Heavy Industries and the world's second largest oil refinery owned by SK Energy.
As a city Ulsan is somewhat similar to Suwon compared to Seoul regarding distance and size. The city of Ulsan, although in area the largest in Korea, is quite small when the metro area is considered. It is possible to get just about anywhere for under 10, won in a taxi.
Ulsan Tourism Ulsan is not a tourist city for common travellers. Those who come to Ulsan are predominantly here to work for the large conglomerates or heavy industries Hyundai Motors being one of the most notable and to teach English as a foreign language.
Old down-town, Seongnamdong, is good for shopping at low, local prices there are brand goods shops too however. Ulsan Nightlife Ulsan nightlife is still Ok and various as they are so many foreign expats and teachers work in Ulsan. If your are out for fun in Ulsan, go to some korean clubs or bars in old downtown or the new downtown. The two mentioned bars here are just for teachers. As there is thousands of other expats in Ulsan - and if you are one of them, I recommend to stay away from these two lame holes and instead just pick any other.
These are the two main bars for foreign teachers and some brave Korean teachers in Ulsan. Great food, great atmosphere. Large screen TVs and foosball at each, Tombstone has a pool table, Bench has darts. Bench has open mic every Wednesday night, which is great fun. They're always open late ie. Acid Bar is the new place to be if you're an expat living in Ulsan. Located near the Gonguptop sp? Rotary and across from 'Bobos' spot the gawdy neon red signage , it's a large basement club with bar, dance floor, big comfy chairs and a nori-bang room.
