🎪 What Kind of Place Is It?
The press release introduces the Taehwagang estuary as
a representative autumn ecological tourism spot
where wetland plants like silvergrass, water silvergrass, reeds, and wild rice naturally grow.
The experience center is held
with the silvergrass colony as its backdrop.
Ulsan City explains that silvergrass is
a representative water-purifying plant
that helps clean river water
and provides a habitat for many creatures.
It’s not a festival with a stage,
but an ecological experience center
where you can enjoy the same activities every day.
The subtitle of the press release is
”Enjoying Taehwagang’s Autumn Ecological Experience Amid Silver Waves.”
Ulsan City hopes citizens and tourists
will directly feel the ecological value of silvergrass.
