Pohang is located on the east coast of the Republic of Korea. It is known as the "steel capital" of Korea. It is home to the country's largest steel plant, POSCO. Main attractions: 📎Space Walk (스페이스워크) - a giant metal observation staircase in the shape of a loop. From the top, you get a stunning view of the city. Even better than a Ferris wheel, in terms of thrills. 📎Yeonnildae Beach (영일대해수욕장) is located in the city center. Its signature feature is a wooden pavilion on the water. 📎Homigot (호미곶) - the easternmost point of Korea, where people first see the sunrise. The famous "Hand of Harmony" rises from the sea here. There's a reason to come back to see: 📎POSCO & The Light Show - a light show with views of the factory and the sea. 📎POSCO Museum (포스코역사관) about steel. 📎Japanese Village (구룡포 일본인가옥거리) - a preserved street of Japanese houses from the colonial period. 📎Seafood markets, especially Jukdo (죽도시장). What's that hand in the water and what meaning does it carry? A little prelude. This place is called Homigot (호미곶), which translates as "hoe-shaped cape." For Koreans, this place is much more than just a geographical point on a map. In ancient geomancy, Korea was represented as a tiger overlooking the sea, and Homigot is the tiger's tail. The tail was considered a source of good fortune and vitality. Koreans believed that if the earth's energy was misdirected, the country could face difficulties. Therefore, even during the Joseon Dynasty, the king sent scientists here to check the energy balance and protect nature. Since then, Homigot has symbolized a place where one can recharge and begin a new journey. The cape's main symbol is the "Hand of Harmony" (상생의 손), but there are actually two hands, each 8.5 meters high. They were erected in 1999 to celebrate the beginning of the new millennium. The right hand rises from the sea, while the left rests on land nearby. This symbolizes harmony between humans and nature, mutual aid and unity, and the hope for the reunification of North and South Korea. At dawn, fingers hold the sun – don't forget to make a wish at this moment, especially on January 1st of the New Year. 📍 호미곶해맞이광장 경상북도 포항시 남구 호미곶면 대보리 Travel isn't just about kilometers and photographs.
