Taehwagang National Garden

Getting around: Located in Ulsan, roughly 30-40 minutes from central Gyeongju by bus; a local bus or taxi covers the remaining distance within Ulsan to the riverside garden.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public park.

Taehwagang National Garden is a large riverside park along the Taehwagang River in Ulsan, notable for its extensive bamboo forest (one of the largest urban bamboo groves in Korea), walking and cycling paths, and seasonal flower displays. It's a spacious, low-key green space rather than a historic sight, valued mainly for a relaxed walk or bike ride.

Like Pohang's attractions, it's technically outside Gyeongju proper but grouped with the wider travel region for visitors combining Gyeongju with nearby Ulsan.
