Boost to Local Economy and City Center Anticipated
The architecture of the past and construction methods of the future have converged above the Taehwa River. Ulsan City is unveiling a new landmark on the Taehwa River.
At 4:50 p.m. on December 18, the city will hold the "Taehwaro (Yonggeumso) Skywalk Completion Ceremony" at the Taehwaro Skywalk, located at 300 Taehwa-ro, Jung-gu.
After the ceremony, the facility will undergo inspections and final preparations before officially opening to the public and tourists on December 24.
The completion ceremony will be attended by approximately 200 people, including Ulsan Mayor Kim Dukyum, Ulsan City Council Chairman Lee Seongryong, National Assemblyman Park Sungmin, and Jung-gu District Mayor Kim Younggil. The event will feature a celebratory performance, an opening declaration, a facade lighting ceremony, and a tour of the facility.
The "Taehwaro Skywalk" will serve as a key hub in the ecological, cultural, and tourism belt connecting Taehwagang National Garden, Taehwaro, and Taehwa Market.
Construction began in October last year and was completed in just one year and one month. The total project cost of 7.3 billion won was fully funded by the city.
With a width of 20 meters and a length of 35 meters, the facility is equipped with a variety of amenities, including fountains, landscape lighting, an exterior media facade, swings, and net-based experiential facilities, providing both relaxation and interactive experiences.
Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the Taehwa River waterfront, and the diverse relaxation and experiential facilities are expected to attract significant popularity among both citizens and tourists.
In particular, the exterior media facade, themed around Ulsan’s nature and industry, is expected to become a new nighttime attraction as it blends with the Taehwa River’s nightscape.
Mayor Kim Dukyum stated, "The completion of the 'Taehwaro Skywalk' will enhance Ulsan’s urban brand value and contribute to revitalizing local businesses and the city center."
