The Taehwagang River cuts across the heart of Ulsan and flows into Ulsan Bay, which is connected to the East Sea. The river basin, which stretches 36 kilometers from east to west and 28 kilometers from north to south, is mostly comprised of mountainous terrain, but there is fertile land on both sides of the river and at the southern end of the river. The river is presently an important source of drinking water for the citizens of Ulsan.

The field around the midpoint of Taehwagang River was left abandoned for a long time before it was founded as Taehwagang National Garden, preserving nature while providing a resting spot to the citizens of Ulsan. The garden is over twice the size of Yeouido Park in Seoul, and consists of natural water and a lush bamboo forest, known as Simnidae Forest, along with canola and forage barley fields. Simnidae Forest was once in danger of demolition as part of the government's flood control plans but remains preserved thanks to community efforts. Preservation efforts led to turning the area into Taehwagang National Garden of today, which was recognized as Korea's second national garden in 2019.

Not just a symbol of pride for the people of Ulsan, the river has long since been a precious commodity that has played a pivotal role in Ulsan culture and history. There are several attractions and amenities near the river such as a bamboo forest park, grassy fields, a pampas grass colony, trails, and exercise facilities. The river itself is home to many freshwater fish, while the riverside area is a famous habitat for migratory birds.

Located in Jung-gu, Ulsan City and built and operated by Jung-gu Office, Eoryeondan Guesthouse was opened in August 2014 to offer guests an opportunity to enjoy a hanok stay and various traditional Korean experiences. The house was named ‘Eoryeondang,’ meaning a “house abounding with beautiful words,” after Eoryeoncheon Stream (previously Dongcheon Stream).’ This two-story hanok building was built with granite construction materials including the staircases, fence, and external pillars, creating a solid and majestic impression. Located next to the house is Sanjeonsaem Spring, which was found over 400 years ago and used to supply the house with drinking water, but it was transformed into a garden after the spring ran dry. Eoryeondang has seven guestrooms all together, including three rooms (26m2) equipped with a sink, another three rooms (26m2 each) without a sink, and one room (about 39㎡) equipped with a maru (wooden floor). In particular, the large room, Eoryeonjae, is recommended for family guests. Six of the rooms - Yi, Ho, Ye, Byeong, Hyeong and Gong - were named after administrative agencies of the Joseon Dynasty. Each room can accommodate from 4 to 6 people and is equipped with a bathroom, TV, air-conditioner, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, etc. Set amid an attractive natural environment including pine and bamboo trees, the house is characterized by its interesting ceilings, including the ‘井’-shaped ceiling on the first floor, and the exposed rafters on the second floor. The house is mainly built of pine wood, and each room is decorated with a traditional style of floor paper using beans and hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry tree) wallpaper. The house is adjacent to various interesting sites including the Military Headquarters of Gyeongsangjwa-do Province (Historic Site No. 320), where the military governor of Gyeongsangjwa-do used to stay; an elliptical fortress built in 1417, with a circumference of 1.2km and walls about 3.7meters high; Oesol Memorial Hall, which is a Hangeul museum; and Dongcheon Water Park. It also offers guests the opportunity to play various folk games including yut (a Korean traditional board game), tuho (stick throwing), jegichagi (Korean shuttlecock game). The house makes continuous efforts to improve its services by surveying its guests and reflecting their opinions accordingly.
