Pohang itineraries
Market and Sea in a Day
Arrive by KTX and do it all without a car: fill up at Jukdo Market, walk the sand at Yeongildae, then stand on the Space Walk as the sun goes down.
A Night at Homi Point
Walk Guryongpo's old lanes and the rocky shore, sleep in a Homigot guesthouse, and watch the sun rise between the bronze hands. Day two loops through the Yeonorang Seonyeo park and the lake at Oeosa before heading into town.
The Whole Pohang Coast
Start with waterfalls in the north and a seaside pension in Cheongha, spend a day around Yeongildae in town, and finish at Homigot and Guryongpo. Three unhurried days sweeping Pohang top to bottom.
