Cape Ganjeolgot Somang-gil

간절곶 소망길 · Ulsan · Parks & nature

Cape Ganjeolgot Somang-gil is a coastal path along Ganjeolgot Beach, where the first sunrise of the Korean peninsula can be witnessed, making it a popular spot for New Year's sunrise wishes. Stretching for 10km from the entrance of Jinha Myeongseongyo Bridge to Sinam Port, the route offers five themed courses: Love, Romance, Happiness, and more. An iconic 5-meter Hope Mailbox stands as a local attraction, set against the beautiful Ganjeolgot Lighthouse, designated as one of the "Sixteen Scenic Lighthouses," and a large-winged windmill.
