Birth Home of Park Sang-jin is the residence where Park Sang-jin (1884-1921), an independence activist during the Japanese colonial period, once resided. He devoted all his assets to the independence movement, which led to the decline of his family and the eventual loss of this house to others. However, the government later acquired it, restoring and preserving the property. Comprising six buildings, including sarangchae and anchae, the tiled-roof house represents a yangban's residence built in the 19th century in Korea.

Cheoyongam is a very small rocky island sitting in the middle of Gaeunpo Inlet in front of Saejuk Village in Hwangseong-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan.
It is a historic islet related to the famous folktale of Cheoyong. The tale is about a dragon that emerged from the east sea along with his seven sons at the end of the Silla Kingdom (57BC - 935AD). One of the dragon’s sons named Cheoyong came to the capital and married a beautiful woman. One night, he found an evil spirit trying to attack his wife so he sang and danced, whereupon the spirit presented itself and kneeled in apology. Since then, people have used the image of Cheoyong to dispel evil spirits.
The dance that Cheoyong is said to have performed has been titled Cheoyongmu and has been designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property. Cheoyongam is the sacred rock where the dragon in the tale is said to have appeared. There are many attractions nearby including Mokdo Island (Natural Monument No. 65), which offers magnificent lush greenery all year round.
