Ulsan Yeojido
Description
Book Introduction
Why did the 1,000-year-old kingdom of Silla never move its capital?
The reason is, surprisingly, that there was an international trade port called Ulsan.
As early as 1,200 years ago, Ulsan was the first international trading port on the Korean Peninsula.
Through Ulsan, which had three-dimensional internal and external ports called Sapo and Gaeunpo, Silla was able to achieve the unification of the three kingdoms and leap forward as an international trading nation.
The humanities and geography history book that unravels the long history of Ulsan in a field trip format is 『Ulsan Yeojido』.

Publisher's Review
The land called Ulsan is truly mysterious.
When looking at the globe from above, Ulsan's exquisite location stands out.
As you walk step by step from the very bottom of Ulsan, you will gradually discover why prehistoric people made a living on this land 10,000 years ago.
Walking along the coast of Ulsan, one is filled with a mixture of admiration, regret, and despair.
Ulsan, which supports the lower spine of the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, is a naturally strategic location.
Because of its rich history, Ulsan has become a world cultural heritage city and is now the heart of cutting-edge industry.
The history of the land written step by step is the 『Ulsan Yeojido』.
