A recruiter I am working with is recommending me for a position in Eon yang. Does anyone have any experience with this small town? The recruiter says that it is breathtaking. I have found little information on the area when I Google Eon yang? Any insight, information or experience with this place would be helpful.

I've driven through there once, I think. It was nice but not breathtaking, though I suppose highways never are. Eonyang ('eon' is pronounced like 'yawn' without a 'y') is a small town with a population of 23,000 people.

I don't imagine that there's a lot to do there, but it's technically within the city limits of Ulsan, which is a big city.

Hi!

I actually live in Eonyang, Ulsan...it's a lovely little town, and actually has the KTX station (the high-speed bullet train).

There are around 12 foreign teachers here, and we have developed quite a community.

It is around 30 minutes from Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongju and Daegu (KTX), so well positioned to travel around.

I've been here for 18 months and love it...I plan on staying a further 18 months.

I lived in Eonyang from 2003-2006. It was a great place to live and close to everything you need. Large mountains surround it and there is a big river running through the middle. Great in the summer.

I enjoyed my time there. I go back every 4 months to visit.

If you enjoy small towns it's pretty decent because it's got the Ulsan KTX station right there so you can be anywhere in the country very quickly.

It's about a 15,000원 cab ride to downtown Ulsan if you are going there for entertainment.
