Korea's Thanksgiving holiday falls on a weekend and most shops and stores are closed during this time. I took the opportunity to walk around Ulsan and explore on this particularly quiet Saturday. I walked over to the Ulsan Culture and Arts Center. Of course it was closed, but the amazing part is there was almost no one there. This gave me the opportunity to view the statues outside and take pictures without hundreds of people swarming around. Seeing some of the statues and trying to feel what they are portraying without anyone else around was a very peaceful and enlightening moment. Below are pictures of some of the outdoor artwork.
The following pictures are from the Daldong Culture Park which is next to the Culture and Arts Center. The fountain is awesome and water is running from all places always at the same time, it rotates. And you can walk around and play on it! There was a weeping willow type sanctuary that you walk 5 or 6 stone steps down into and there is a paved circular path and other steps to sit on and such. It was very beautiful.
These are of a painting that was on the side of a building. The building was a hole-in-the-wall type restaurant, but it had some beautiful hand paintings thats for sure.
