The Industrial Coast Metropolis
A metropolitan coast chapter where Daewangam cliffs, Taehwagang National Garden, whale memory, and industrial Korea sit before Busan.
Ulsan matters on Route 4 because it shows Korea in the present tense at scale. The city holds shipbuilding and automotive identity, restored river ecology, Daewangam coastal drama, and Jangsaengpo whale memory before the Busan finale.
