Taewagang National Garden is an area between the Taehwa River [태화강] and Ulsan City that was transformed into South Korea’s 2nd National Garden between 2004 and 2010, and it is now the largest riverside flower garden. It is located across Ulsan’s neighborhoods Taehwa [Taehwa-dong/태화동] and Samho [Samho-dong/삼호동] in the Jung District [Jung-gu/중구] and thus takes up 2.3 the size of Seoul’s Yeouido Park.
One attraction of this garden is Simni Bamboo Forest [십리대숲] —also known as Simnidae Forest, Sipri Forest or Seepri Forest— which is the largest bamboo forest in the country and counts as one of the Twelve Scenic Areas of Ulsan. It is four kilometers long and features 63 different kinds of bamboo from Korea, Japan and China. The bamboo was planted by the local villagers during the Japanese colonial period in an effort to prevent the Taehwa River from flooding their fields.
Other attractions in the garden include: canola and flower fields (flowering in spring and summer), a silver grass field (best viewed in autumn), Simnidaebatgyo Bridge, a migratory bird park (the largest urban bird sanctuary in Korea, where 8,000 herons and 50,000 crows fly in), traditional pavilions and the Taehwagang Observatory.
