Originating from Tapgolsaem at Baegunsan in Duseo-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, the river flows 47.54 km into the East Sea near Maeam-dong, Ulsan. It has a watershed area of 643.96 km² and is a precious river that has shared history with the people of Ulsan, known as the lifeline of Ulsan. Taehwagang River is home to diverse flora and fauna, including native species such as salmon and sweetfish, as well as about 700 species like egrets, swans, otters, and raccoons. The Taehwagang Migratory Bird Park at the river's estuary is the largest urban migratory bird habitat in South Korea, featuring spectacular gatherings of around 8,000 egrets and 50,000 crows. Seasonal eco-experiences like migratory bird schools are offered. In autumn, the silver waves of reeds at the estuary’s reed field combine with the sunset to create a fantastic scene.
