A city official stated, "Although it is a hot summer, we expect this birdwatching trip to be more enjoyable as participants observe breeding birds in Ulsan and visit nearby facilities. We hope many citizens will take an interest and join us, as the program includes places that are not easily accessible even for Ulsan residents, offering both birdwatching and facility tours."
The Ulsan Migratory Bird Tour Bus operates during the first half of the year from January to August, takes a break in September and October to prepare for the winter migratory bird tour, and resumes operation in November.
