In Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, lies a city gently embraced by the sea—Pohang. It holds hidden romance and beauty, waiting for travelers to discover. Today, we present a comprehensive Pohang travel guide, inviting you to explore this charming coastal city and experience its unique allure. 1. Weather and Seasons Pohang enjoys a temperate climate.

Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather, with temperatures around 15–22°C (59–72°F), ideal for strolling through the city and admiring the natural scenery. Winters are relatively cold, with temperatures ranging from -10–2°C (14–36°F), but they possess a unique tranquil beauty. We recommend visiting during spring or autumn for comfortable weather and captivating scenery. 2. Must-See Attractions Homigot Sunrise Square: Pohang's iconic landmark, this is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise and sunset.🌅 As evening approaches, ascend Homigot Sunrise Square and witness the sun's afterglow painting the shimmering sea surface a golden hue, creating a breathtaking spectacle. There are also numerous photo ops📸 here, guaranteeing stunning pictures with every click. Hands of Coexistence and National Lighthouse Museum: The Hands of Coexistence sculptures offer unique photo opportunities. The adjacent National Lighthouse Museum is full of fun, with five exhibition halls, including an interactive experience hall and rich displays that provide an in-depth understanding of lighthouse culture. And it's free!🆓 Space Walk: One of Pohang's landmarks, this steel sculpture resembles a walk in the clouds. The walkway stretches approximately 333 meters, with 717 steps, entirely crafted from elegantly curved steel. As night falls and the lights illuminate the structure, it transforms into a dreamlike world. From here, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Pohang city, admiring the sunrise🌅 and sunset🌇 over Yeongil Bay.

Opening hours: 09:00–18:00 (June–August: 09:00–20:00). 3. Local Delicacies Seafood Noodles: A visit to a coastal city wouldn't be complete without savoring delicious seafood noodles. A bowl brimming with noodles and an assortment of fresh seafood, including shrimp🦐, clams, and squid, creates a rich and flavorful broth. The chewy noodles and savory soup offer a true feast for the taste buds. Korean BBQ: Korean BBQ🥩 is another must-try in Pohang.

I visited Yeongil Bridge, a landmark of Yeongildae Beach, a famous night view spot in Pohang! Even though it's been a few years, I felt that it's still a place loved by Pohang locals and tourists. 🩵 It's not just a place to see the night view, but there's also a rest area in Yeongildae Pavilion, so people gathered in groups of three or five looking at the night sea breeze looked so relaxed. ✨️ You can take pictures here with the sea and buildings in the background, and they look pretty! And you can see the night view lights of the famous Spacewalk in the distance, so I went back after a long time, but it was still a pleasant tourist destination. If you're looking for a night view in Pohang, be sure to visit here😉 _ _ 📍Pohang Yeongil Bridge ▪️Inside Yeongildae Beach, Duho-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ▪️No admission fee/No separate viewing hours/Available all year round #Pohang Travel

#PohangTravel ● A new Pohang travel destination other than Homigot, and Yeongildae Beach, which is great to go to together with Hwanho Park Spacewalk! ● On a clear day with no strong wind, you can go up the stairs like a roller coaster! It is not operated at night for safety reasons, so please go at the right time :) ● There is no separate admission fee, but Spacewalk itself is very high, and the higher you go, the more it shakes due to the wind, so don't overdo it and go as far as you can...it's a bit scary.. ● It takes about 15 minutes? to Yeongildae, so it's good to go by walking along the coastal road! ● The sea of ​​Pohang at night and the night view of Yeongildae are beautiful, so I recommend you to see them while you're there! ● Hwanho Park Spacewalk: 8, Duho-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

The most famous and hot beach in Pohang It's definitely Yeongildae Beach🏖 I went there to see what the night view is like during the summer vacation season, and as expected, there were a lot of people. There must be a lot of tourists, but this is a place where people of all ages can enjoy themselves, so the percentage of locals seems to be much higher, but if you've been sightseeing all day and are wondering if there's anything to see at night, I highly recommend you come to Yeongildae Beach! The night view of Yeongil Bridge is pretty, so it was great to take a walk together and enjoy the sea breeze🩵 _ _ 📍Yeongildae Beach ▪️685-1, Duho-dong, Buk-gu, Pohang-si ▪️Parking is a bit difficult! Be smart! #ExcitingSummerVacation #PohangTravel

🏠 Obremen 📍Address: Obremen, 191-1 Haean-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk 🏷 Today, I will introduce you to a large bakery cafe 'Obremen' located at Pohang Yeongildae Beach! I heard there was a carousel inside the cafe, so I went there right away🎡🎠 I think it was the largest cafe I've ever seen. I said as soon as I saw it, "Is the cafe that big? 🤣 And there were so many different types of bread. I had cake and churros, and I highly recommend it👍🏻 It goes well with iced Americano☕️ Also, since the store is so big, there was an elevator, Thanks to that, I was able to move around comfortably❗️ The good thing was the ocean view seen through the large glass windows. You can see the ocean from both the 2nd and 3rd floors, but if you want to see the wide ocean, I recommend the 3️⃣ floor. Obremen reminded me of the Bremen Town Musicians! The carousel in the photo is said to be the carousel that BTS, Twice, and Seventeen performed on stage together🎠 It was amazing! I hope you all visit the large Pohang cafe 'Obremen' ◡̈ #Pohang #PohangTravel #Cafe #PohangCafe #CafeExploration #CafeRecommendation #HotPlace #Couples #DateCourse #LifeShotPlace #PohangHotPlace

Firecrackers are sold at convenience stores and on the street, and it's hard to light firecrackers when the wind is strong, so try to go when there's no wind : ) #HotPlace #Pohang #Yeongil-dae #NightSea #Fireworks #Gyeongsang-do #Travel #PohangTravel #PlacesToVisitInPohang #Yeongil-daeBeach #DateCourse
