Latest Ulsan hotel reviews
DSwede Says: Kyongju was a ruling seat of the part of the old empire, with some nice parks and historic sites. Having worked in Ulsan for several months, I have found my way to Kyongju many times. Among the highlights was Anapji (original name of Imhaejeon), a temple built around an...
Shopping, dining or drinking in Mugoedong
DSwede Says: This is the university area of Ulsan. There will be many students and young professionals out. There are countless boutiques, restaurants, bars, PC-bongs, etc. You can find almost everything here either in the stores or being sold on the street vendors.
DSwede Says: Went to Girimsa Temple, which was very nice. It wasn’t as large as Bulgoksa, but was cleaner, kept up and in a beautiful mountain valley. If the time of year is to your advantage, the mountains and temple have many cherry blossoms that bloom.

Namaskar: The Best Indian (& Nepalese) in Ulsan
DSwede Says: For a long time, there was only one Indian restaurant in Ulsan. Many locals were dissapointed and stopped frequenting it as often since they reduced the menu and raised the prices. In all honesty, we all but stopped going to it.But thankfully somebody knew our plight and...
Indo Yohang: The original Indian rest in Ulsan
DSwede Says: While there are countless Indian restaurants in Seoul and a couple in Busan, there are very few of decent quality anywhere else in Korea.Indo Yohang is a small venue, with approximately 8 tables. It has a small menu, but all the items are very good quality. The owners are...
DSwede Says: While obviously there are many restaurants in Ulsan, there are very few non-Korean restaurants to choose from. Many of them come and go because the local Koreans do not frequent them enough to keep them profitable.An exception to that rule is Kebabistan. It serves Turkish...
DSwede Says: Arguably the most authentic Chinese food I've had while living in Korea.The restaurant opened in early 2008, but quickly built up a reputation as a quality establishment. The decorations are not over done, but that's just what you want. You want the attention to be paid to...

Benchwarmers and Tombstone: Where everybody knows your name
Buttercup7 Says: 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...
Royal Anchor & Benchwarmers: Oldtown Hangout
DSwede Says: Again, bars in Ulsan come and go, almost as fast as the typical teachers who come here. Just when one is starting to quiet down, another is picking up. Wait a few months and the ebb and flow may change again.Royal Anchor was the place to be several years ago and has recently...
W Garden, Golden Eagle, Beat: Meeting ex-pats in Ulsan (Samsan)
DSwede Says: Bars in Ulsan come and go like the seasons. Even those that survive more than a year or two go through cycles of popularity.In and around Samsan-dong (the neighborhood near the Lotte Hotel), there are a couple of bars that expats frequent. Obviously if you've ever been to...
Benchwarmers and Tombstone: Where you want nobody to know your name...
niball Says: Benchwarmers and Tombstone: Where you want nobody to know your name..Both these places are incredible lame. Old, run-down may be a great place if you're a teacher or something alike.If your are out for fun in Ulsan, go to some korean clubs or bars in old downtown or the new...
To/from Ulsan (from Gimhae and other places)
DSwede Says: Busan's Gimhae Airport: there is an express bus to/from downtown Ulsan. Ulsan's stop for Gimhae airport is under the bridge, by the river adjacent to Taehwa Hotel (see picture). Cost is 7400KRW one-way. You must buy the ticket at the vending office next to the bus stop....
From Ulsan Airport to City Centre

Bus to Donghae, Busan and Beyoung
bpacker Says: The inter-city and express bus terminals are just next to each other. So if you need to take a bus to Gyeongju, take the express bus . If you need to go to Donghae and beyound, take the inter-city bus terminal. I took a bus from here to Sokcho and it took me about 7 hours...
Mugeo-dong area market: Shop the street markets
DSwede Says: This is not a 'shop', but more of a bunch of small streets with many shops and vendors. It is opposite the university, so there will be many people during most hours. The fashions and food will be popular with the younger crowds, but that does not mean that only the young...

wolink Says: In this shop is is a nice shop
Rob47 Says: It is a seaside resort and Ulsan beach looks ok but you will notice that people do not go in the sea.This is because sewage outlet goes straight into the sea here. What a shame ! Enjoy the walk up the hill and look around the stalls.Some nice bars with good views over the...
Tongdosa Says: Take a taxi from Mugodong to Munsusan and enjoy a nice day in the countryside 5,000W. There is a bus stop at the highway but I don't remember the schedule or the name of the stop, so a good way to get back to the city for 1,000W. Although it is very close to Ulsan you can...
