Ulsan Ganjeolgot
There is a saying that “Only when the sun rises on Ganjeolgot, there will dawn on the Korean Peninsula.”

‘Ganjeolgot’, where the sun rises first in Korea. I’ve always been confused about where the sun rises first with Homigot.
Ganjeolgot is said to rise one minute ahead of Homigot.

Gigantic Ganjeolgot wish Postbox. They say you can get it if you write a postcard here. I’m not sure when I’ll get it. Six months? Or a year?
Anytime you write a postcard, you can get it. Let’s write a postcard to someone you remember. Of course, we have to get his/her address in advance…


Right behind, it is the Gangeolgot Lighthouse. I’ll have to look around first before I get to the lighthouse.
The East Sea unfolds right in front of you, overwhelmed by the deep blue.

There is something to be choked with grief in a deep heart’s feelings when i looked at the east sea. I think I should make a resolution and it helps me to make a big decision. A feeling of being on my side.
I’m sure everyone feels differently from day to day, but I guess the ocean I wanted was like a father.

I can see many large ships because Ulsan is right next to Gangeolgot. But I don’t know if it’s too big, or if it’s true, but there’s no movement.
Does it look too big to move? Or is it going slowly?


East Sea gives a strong impression. The wind is so strong.
I’ve been looking all over the place. Sometimes I sit down for a while and experience the sea breeze.





Now I stepped to Ganjeolgot Lighthouse. It is said that it will be open until 6 p.m. in summer season and Monday is closed;
It was a Monday when i visited here..I encounter an unexpected challenge. I can’t go the lighthouse in front of my eyes..Nothing can be more sad than this.








Being unable to go to the lighthouse, I spent more time on the ground. I’ll take a look at every nook and cranny.


A small windmill is located just north side of Gangeolgot. And after that, there is a cafe. Did the windmill turn? I don’t remember.

I heard they’re selling postcards here to put them in a wish mail box. If you need a postcard, come here to buy it and go to the mailbox.




The sea is very deep. I can see the deepness of the ocean on the surface.
Even though I did’t see the sunrise, And I couldn’t even go up to the lighthouse…But it’s a beautiful place. If I have a chance, I would like to see New Year’s sunrise here.
