Petroglyphs of Cheonjeon-ri, Ulju

Dudong-myeon, South Korea

The petroglyphs of Cheonjeon-ri, Ulju (Korean: ) are pre-historic engravings on flat vertical rock faces on the riverside of the Daegokcheon stream, a branch of the Taehwa River which is 2 km away from the Bangudae Petroglyphs in Ulju County, Ulsan, South Korea. The ancient engravings are estimated to have been made from Neolithic to the era of Silla, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. They were discovered in 1970 by a survey team of Dongguk University. Designated as the 147th National Treasures of South Korea in 1973, the rock art was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2025.
