Opinions on Ulsan as a tourist destination are extremely polarized

‌
People who have visited even once or twice and seen the East Sea at Gangdong and Jujeon, or visited Taehwa River and the Yeongnam Alps, praise it endlessly.
On the other hand, those who have never been tend to criticize it, calling it "boring" or just an "industrial city."
The truth is, it only has that industrial image, but among cities with a population of over 500,000, I can't think of any other city with a natural environment like Ulsan's—where mountains, sea, and rivers are all perfectly integrated.
I'm just jotting this down because I saw a post about the seas of Ulsan and Pohang and it came to mind.
