What did people dream about in the Stone Age? In Korea, in the former capital of whalers, Ulsan, they dreamed, apparently, about whales. Most of the composition of the famous Pangude rock, decorated with rock carvings (petroglyphs), well preserved to this day, is dedicated to whales.
If time permits, we will walk along the picturesque river and up to the second (chronologically - the first) rock with petroglyphs - in the area of the village of Cheongjong-ri. In addition to the Neolithic petroglyphs themselves, a rock at Cheongjeong-ri has preserved a curious Silla era inscription on a hanmun.
It is a unique museum in Korea specializing in petrogliphs. The museum is situated a short walk (about 1 km) from both the Bangudae and Cheonjeon-ri petrogliphs.
Not only the interior of the museum boasting a sophisticated media systems, but the modern and inspiring exterior make an inpression on the visitors.
The Pangude petroglyphs are the oldest depictions of whaling in the world. The rock paintings are so realistic that zoologists can even identify the type of animal from them! Whales, leopards, tigers, wild boars - only about 20 species of animals in 300 pictures carved on a rock about 8 by 5 meters in size.
Dinosaurs also left a legacy here, but directly, with their legs, so to speak: along the picturesque banks of the river, you can find real footprints of real dinosaurs!
The rock is located on the banks of the picturesque Daegokchon River, a tributary of the river. Taehwa, captivated with its rocky primitive landscapes of artists, poets and famous public figures not only of the Neolithic, but also of less distant eras - Silla, Goryeo and Joseon.
The Cheongjeon-ri petroglyphs are located very close (about 2 km) from the Pangudae petroglyphs. Chronologically, they were the first to be discovered by a group of researchers in 1973.
In addition to the petroglyphs themselves, dating back to the Neolithic era, the rock has preserved a curious record of the Silla era on a hanmun.
In the Haeundae area, where your hotel is located, life doesn’t slow down even in the evening: dozens of restaurants and food stalls serve Busan’s signature dishes — from hearty rice soup with beef (gukbap) to street favorites like siat hotteok (sweet pancakes filled with nuts and seeds).
