Why go
Uljin Salt Pond (Uljin Toyeom) is a traditional Korean salt-production site in Uljin-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where seawater is harvested and processed into traditional Korean sea salt through traditional evaporation methods. Uljin's east-coast location combined with the area's clean coastal-water sources gives the salt produced here a distinctive mineral-and-flavor profile that is highly prized in Korean culinary tradition. The site combines working salt-evaporation flats with an interpretive area on traditional Korean salt-production methods, hands-on workshops where visitors can try basic salt-harvesting under instructor guidance, and a small retail area selling artisanal salt products. Best for travelers interested in traditional Korean food-production heritage, paired with broader Uljin-area coastal itineraries.
