2025 Pohang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

A trip to Pohang is incomplete without a seaside stroll at the expansive Yeongildae Beach. Witnessing the sunrise from the Skywalk, which seems to float above the sea, is truly a breathtaking experience. 🌅 In the city, you can't miss the nighttime view of POSCO. The unique nightscape of this steel city offers a distinct charm that sets it apart from other cities. ✨ Don't forget to stop by Jukdo Market to savor fresh seafood and Pohang's signature dish, mulhoe (cold raw fish soup). It's an absolute must! 🍲 📍Recommended Pohang Travel Spots ✅ Yeongildae Beach & Skywalk ✅ Jukdo Market (Mulhoe & Sashimi are a must!) ✅ POSCO Night View

#TravelTalk 🗓 Pohang 1 Day Trip 🌅 Morning Igari Anchor Observatory (이가리 닻 전망대) Start the day with a bridge jutting out into the ocean. At the end is a red anchor. The stunning sea view is perfect for a photo opportunity to start your trip. Take a stroll and enjoy the sea air. The mornings are less crowded, so you can take pictures in a more open area. 🌤 Morning Homigot Sunrise Square (호미곶 해짞이광장) Korea's most famous sunrise spot, featuring a giant hand statue in the middle of the ocean, a symbol of Pohang. Stop for photos, enjoy the view, and stroll around the square. 🍽 Lunch Go to Guryongpo Market (구룡포 시장) Eat fresh seafood like pickled crab, grilled shrimp, or fresh fish sashimi. Fill your stomach before the afternoon. 🌇 Afternoon Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha Filming Spot (Cheongjin Village) Walk around the seaside village used for the TV series, including Grandma Gamri's House and Captain Hong's Restaurant. Stop by Gongjin Cafe, which has been renovated to fit the series' theme. 🌆 Evening Hwanho Park Space Walk (스페이스워크) Evening highlight: a curved steel bridge that feels like a roller coaster in mid-air, offering 360° views of the city and sea. If you stay until nightfall, you'll see the beautiful LED lights, making it feel like you're walking in space.

#asiabudgetchallenge Took a spontaneous coastal escape to Pohang with just RM290—and it felt like discovering Korea’s best-kept secret. Took a highway bus from Seoul (~RM90 round‑trip), stayed in a cozy guesthouse near Yeongildae Beach (~RM100), and explored the city’s quirky attractions and local eats. 💸 Budget Breakdown • Transport (bus + local): RM90 • Stay (1 night): RM100 • Food & snacks: RM60 (fresh sashimi, mulhwe, street snacks) • Attractions & transport pass: RM40 🌟 Highlights • Yeongildae Beach & Space Walk: Walk the stainless-steel sculpture over the sea at sunset. It’s bigger than it looks—feel suspended above water!    • Jukdo Market: Seafood heaven—shop for mulhwe and try super fresh sashimi for cheap.  • Homigot “Hand of Harmony” & Lighthouse: Iconic sunrise spot and artsy lighthouse—great for photos and drama.  “The space walk is cool, but if it’s windy, it’ll be closed… But I did go and take pictures.”  “Loved the sea and checking out the temple shaped like a dragon…”  💡 Pro Tip Take the bus pass or day bus tickets at the station—they’re affordable and reach most highlight spots. Visit Space Walk at evening, and if it’s windy it might close—so check the weather first!   💬 Would you stay up for a sunrise at Homigot or eat fresh sashimi by Jukdo Market?👇 #pohang #koreatrip #budgettravel #asiabudgetchallenge #seasideescape #myitinerary #thingstodo #hiddenkorea

Space Walk, a must-visit attraction in Pohang This incredible structure was planned, manufactured, and installed by POSCO, and generously donated to the citizens of Pohang. 😊 Knowing it was created by POSCO somehow makes it even more impressive! If you have a fear of heights, it might be challenging to climb. Even for someone like me who isn't afraid of heights, I found myself tensing up as I climbed. Still, it's definitely a place worth visiting at least once! 📍 Space Walk at Hwanho Park 30 Hwanho Park-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

#Travel itinerary #Domestic travel Let's start the second day of our Pohang trip leisurely 🌞. After a quick check-out at our accommodation, we spend the morning feeling the sea breeze of Pohang and then go eat mulhoe, one of the must-eat foods in Pohang, at lunchtime 🐟🍲. Mulhoe, which is made with a lot of chewy raw fish in a cool broth, is the best summer delicacy! The spicy and sour taste will blow away all the fatigue from your trip, and mulhoe eaten by the sea is just like honey 😋. After filling your stomach, it's time to head to Homigot, a famous spot in Pohang! 🚗 You have to see the sculpture of the Hand of Mutual Growth standing with the endless sea to feel its grandeur ✋🌊. The scenery where the open horizon and the sky meet is a moving experience that cannot be captured in a photo. Take a leisurely stroll around Homigot Sunrise Square, listen to the sound of the ocean, and stay for a while to refresh your mind 🌬️ Next, head to Pohang's hidden healing spot, Camellia 🌸 Camellia is a place where a sentimental garden, cafe, and exhibition space come together, making it the perfect place to spend some leisurely time in a calm atmosphere. You can enjoy a cup of coffee while taking a walk in the garden or appreciating the exhibition and relax your mind ☕📷. Now it's time to head to the last destination, Seonryu Mountain Lodge! 🏡 This place, quietly located in nature, is a charming place where mountains and valleys come together, so you can escape from everyday life and enjoy healing 🌿. If you take a leisurely walk while appreciating the surrounding scenery, you will realize once again how peaceful and special this trip was. A short but fulfilling 2-day trip to Pohang ✨ Thanks to the blue ocean, delicious food, and sentimental spaces, it became an unforgettable memory. See you again next time, Pohang! 👋💙

Space Walk is awesome And it makes your heart flutter in #Pohang 🎢⛰️🇰🇷 "Hwanho Park Space Walk" This is a space walk in Hwanho Park in Pohang. The highlight of this place is the steel model in the air. It is 333 m long and 25 m high. When we walk up step by step, it feels like riding a roller coaster. The higher you go, the more you shake. Walking is tense, but it's so much fun. If you have time, try taking a 1-2 hour car ride from Busan to visit. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. 😍😍 #pohang #busan #travelkorea #engineertravel #travelplan #trip #travelabroad #trip

There was singing and fireworks in the evening too! 🎤🎆 We stayed at a great-value hotel called “Jangjo,” right by the seaside with nice views. Hwanho Park Space Walk (환호공원 스페이스워크) 🚶♂️ Heads up! It’s closed every Monday, and we didn’t realize... so no climbing up this time. We just took some photos from below. Still pretty cool, but a little disappointing! 😞 Homigot (호미곶) ✋ Honestly, not much to see — just a big hand sculpture, and it’s a bit rusty.
