We drove there with our family, and the first thing we saw when we arrived was a big sign that said “A morning doesn’t come to the Korean peninsula until the sun rises in Ganjeolgot, Ulsan”. There were many snack stalls in the parking lot. But we weren’t hungry and so we walked directly to a 5m tall mailbox. Inside the mailbox free postcards are provided. You can write a postcard and put it into a slot on the front of the mailbox.
The scenery around the mailbox is beautiful. The colorful scenery is created by a large red mailbox, a white lighthouse, a blue ocean, green trees and gray stone sculptures. The sculpture that caught our attention was a sculpture of the wife and daughters of Park Jesang, who was a royal servant during the Silla Dynasty. They were waiting for Park’s safe return from Japan, but he never made it. We had a long distance relationship across the Pacific for the two years we were apart after our wedding. So, their story reminded us of our past. 
If you go to Gangeolgot, you can also visit Ulsan Grand Park. It is an ecological park. When we visited the park, we felt like all our stress and tiredness went away, while we were surrounded by green trees in the middle of a big city. Also, take a ride on the Ferris wheel of the Lotte department store, which is located next to the Ulsan Express Bus Terminal. Right across the street is the Ulsan Intercity Bus Terminal. You can look out over the city of Ulsan from the Ferris wheel. It is very high but it moves slowly. There is no need to be scared. ※한국어로 이 글을 읽으시려면, 아래 링크를 클릭하여 방문하여 주세요.
