The easternmost point of the Korean mainland — where the first sunrise of each year hits Korea. The giant red postbox is the landmark photo spot. Famous for New Year's sunrise, but the dawn view is stunning year-round.

1월 1일 간절곶에서 해돋이 기다리며 만난 새벽 풍경. 울산 여행

겨울에는 간절곶에서 가장 먼저 해돋이를 볼 수 있으므로 겨울 방문을 추천합니다. 빛 축제 기간에는 조명 사이에서 사진을 찍으며 추위를 잊을 수 있습니다.
