Jangsaengpo in Nam-gu, Ulsan Metropolitan City, South Korea, was once a famous whaling base and has since transformed into a tourism district and historic neighborhood centered on whale culture and marine ecology. It brings together attractions such as the Jangsaengpo Whale Museum, the Whale Ecology Experience Hall, the Whale Culture Village, the old Jangsaengpo streets, and walking trails, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of an old fishing village while learning about modern marine conservation and whale culture. Seasonal events such as the annual Jangsaengpo Hydrangea Festival in summer make it one of the must-visit destinations for travelers to Ulsan from Korea and abroad.
