#Emotional Accommodation Let me introduce you to the Tongchang Ocean View Accommodation in Pohang! Here, you can see the ocean through the Tongchang, but if you go up to the private rooftop, there is also an infinity pool that only the guests can use. 🩵 There is also a spa across the street, so it is a private place where we can use it alone and completely heal ourselves :) I recommend that you all visit it at least once! However, there are no restaurants or anything around here, so if you go, go shopping✨ It's good for barbecue :) 📍 Pohang Machi Blue Pool Villa #Pohang Travel #Domestic Travel

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.

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. Savor tender beef🐮 and pork🐷 sizzling on the grill, cooked to a golden brown. Wrap the meat in lettuce leaves, add garlic slices, chili🌶️ rings, and unique Korean sauces for an explosion of flavors and pure bliss.

#SummerTravel #100TravelStyles 📍Cafe 1703 Address: 3290 Donghae-daero, Songra-myeon, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk The price range is a bit high, but the ocean view and atmosphere of Cafe 1703 are attractive enough to offset the price. It is a great place to take a certification shot outdoors with a cool 1703 Ade, especially in the summer. The coffee felt a little weak to me, but the Hallabong tea and Malenka honey were delicious, and most of all, the photos turned out great. If you are looking for a cafe with a great view in Pohang, I recommend Cafe 1703.

#Chuseok Cafe 1703 had a really charming ocean view. The East Sea seen from the cafe was so beautiful that I think I just looked at the ocean for over an hour. The 1703 brunch set I had for brunch was also delicious, and I liked how it tasted sweet and salty at the same time. In particular, the croffle I ordered for dessert had brown cheese and ice cream on top, so the sweet and savory taste was just my style. I felt like I was really healed in the leisurely atmosphere.

#Chuseok As soon as I entered the cafe, the warm interior caught my eye. The space was spacious, and above all, the atmosphere where I could spend my time leisurely while looking at the ocean was really nice. I had the brunch set and hamburger steak, and the food was delicious and the portions were sufficient. It tasted even better when I ate it while looking at the ocean! For dessert, I ordered a croffle and a ham and cheese crepe, and both were so delicious that I definitely recommend them. The croffle was especially great when paired with sweet ice cream.

#Chuseok I went to Cafe 1703 in Pohang during Chuseok, and the ocean view was amazing. When you sit at the outdoor seating area of ​​the cafe, the East Sea is spread out through the large windows, and it feels like you're on vacation. So I took a lot of pictures. I ordered the brunch set in particular, and I was satisfied because the taste was good and the presentation was great. I also had a croffle and a ham and cheese crepe, and the croffle was topped with brown cheese and ice cream, so it was perfect for my taste! My friends said it was delicious, so we all had fun eating together.

[Homigot 호미곶] This park in Pohang is impressive for its giant hand sculpture jumping out of the sea😊 It is imbued with the wish to "hold hands, help each other, and coexist," and the opposing left hand stands in the square in front. The person is wrist-high, so you can see how big it is. Both the sea and the land are giant "hands." At sunrise, it looks like the hands are holding the sun, so a grand sunrise festival is held in the New Year. There are also toilets in the square. There were food stalls set up that day, and I was able to eat crab😊 There are several seafood restaurants nearby, and you can eat live long-fingered octopus for a cheap price. It's a bit difficult to get to, but there is a lighthouse museum and I enjoyed the whole park area♫ 1.5 hours by bus from Pohang Airport✈️ There are few buses, so I recommend checking the return time😊 📍Address: 464 Guman-ri, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea Both the park and the lighthouse museum are free♪ [National Lighthouse Museum] 국립등대박물관 🕰️Opening hours: 9am-6pm Closed on Mondays #Homigo #Hand object #Korea #Korea trip #100 travel styles

I have been wanting to make a pilgrimage for a long time🫣🫣🫣 A famous spot to watch the sunrise, especially during New Year's Eve! I heard it was the first one to rise. The road is left hand 🫲 The sea is the right hand 🫱 If you see seagulls on the five fingers of the sea It will bring good luck☺️☺️☺️ 📍Address: 10-20-2020 ❌It is not recommended to come at night The transportation here is inconvenient. If you don’t drive, you have to give up watching the sunrise 🌅. Also, if you don’t know Korean, I suggest you charter a car directly! 🚌On the way there👉I took bus 9000 from Gulongpu and got off at "대보중학교" and walked in 🚌On the way back👉, we walked to the entrance of the parking lot🅿️ and happened to meet a city minibus. The driver asked where we were going and then took us to a convenient transfer stop and then took another bus🚌. The driver was very enthusiastic and introduced the route along the way (there were few people on the bus and they were all tourists). It felt like I was on a sightseeing minibus🚎 This place is remote and it's hard for taxis to pass by... Fortunately I caught this one😏 #100TravelWays #NaturalLandscape #Pohang #KoreaTravel #KoreaTouristAttractions #PohangTourism #HandsofMusic #CapeHomiSun Plaza #PohangAttractions
