[2025 Pohang Attraction] Travel Guide for Guryongpo Modern History Museum (Updated Mar)

Pohang Guryongpo, which became even hotter with the drama When the Camellia Blooms Japanese House Street🩵 It was still a hot tourist attraction in Guryongpo. Even on a weekday, there were so many people that I couldn't even dare to go up to the top of the stairs where Dongbaek took a picture. The line was so long😂 We had already been up there a few times a long time ago, so we passed, but for those who want to take pictures like the Dongbaek poster, I recommend going up to the top of the park at least once! Camellia, where Dongbaek used to be, was also popular as a cafe, and we couldn't go in because there were so many customers, but it's definitely not a Dongbaek spot, but there are a lot of things to see and cute shops in every corner. It's a special place that's hard to see now because the Japanese houses where they actually lived are preserved as they are. I recommend this place as a Pohang travel course to visit at least once🩵 - - 📍Guryongpo Japanese House Street 🧭27 Homi-ro, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongbuk ℹ️Filming location for the drama When the Camellia Blooms #PohangTravel #GuryongpoJapaneseHouseStreet

I've never been inside the museum because it was closed or after hours, but this time I was finally able to see the inside of the museum💚 First of all, since all the houses are wooden buildings, you can't hurt your feet on the wooden floors and thorns, so you have to wear slippers and go inside! On the upper floor, there were spaces that depicted the daily lives of Japanese people, and it was nice to take a quick look around. The main photo was taken like this I thought it would be pretty and sat down, but they all crowded behind us and took the same photo, so I felt proud for no reason🥰 Since it's free admission here, if you go to the Japanese House Street I definitely recommend looking around together💚 - - 📍Guryongpo Modern History Museum 🧭153-1 Guryongpo-gil, Guryongpo-eup, Nam-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ⏰️10:00-17:30 (Closed every Monday) ℹ️Free admission/Must wear provided slippers #PohangTravel #GuryongpoTravel

From December to March, snow crabs and mitten crabs are at their prime. As you enter the market, a variety of fresh seafood greets you—king crabs, snow crabs, and mitten crabs, each beckoning you to try them! - Must-try: Choose a few live crabs from the many stalls and watch the vendors prepare them on the spot for ultimate freshness! - Recommended Restaurant: "Cheonghaksan," the third restaurant from the port. Try their three-course king crab set meal: crab roe bibimbap, sweet and crunchy crab leg sashimi, and finally, the rich and savory doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) made with the crab body. 14:00 Yeongdeok Ocean Bike Path After a satisfying meal, get up close and personal with the ocean! Rent an electric-assisted bicycle (KRW 8,000/2h) and enjoy a leisurely ride along the 7km ocean path. Starting from Ganggu Port, head towards Jukdo Island Observatory, with the sparkling sea on one side and a refreshing sea breeze on the other, as if cycling on the ocean itself. 17:00 Jukbyeon Wetland Observatory In the evening, visit the Jukbyeon Wetland Observatory, a true natural film set. At sunset, the golden sunlight casts beautiful reflections on the water forest, making every photo a masterpiece. If you visit during summer, you might even witness the magical sea sparkle. As the blue fluorescence twinkles beneath your feet, you'll feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale. 19:00 Yeongdeok Night Market As night falls, Yeongdeok Night Market comes alive. Various food stalls emit enticing aromas. Spicy grilled octopus, crispy crab croquettes, and fresh sea urchin rice balls—every bite is pure bliss. Day 2: A Cultural Healing Journey 9:00 Yeongdeok Cherry Blossom Road (April only) If you visit Yeongdeok in April, don't miss the Cherry Blossom Road. The cherry blossom tunnel along the old railway tracks of Guryongpo Port is a hidden gem for photography. Stroll beneath the cherry trees as pink petals fall around you, as if you've entered a romantic cherry blossom shower. 11:00 Guryongpo Modern Culture Street This is the filming location of "The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure." A retro atmosphere permeates the streets. Find the same fish cake shop that Park Bo-gum visited and savor the soft and sweet fish cakes.

At Mangyangjeong Raw Fish Center, spend KRW 20,000 on a fresh, mystery sashimi box. You might even get some delicious flounder sashimi. After the sashimi, don't forget to order a bowl of fish bone soup and kimchi fried rice—it's a hidden menu item! 16:00 Yeongildae Beach Enjoy the sea breeze and try a transparent kayak at Yeongildae Beach, admiring the beauty of Yeongdeok from the sea. At dusk, write a wish in Chinese characters on the beach—a local tradition that adds a unique touch to your trip. Transportation Tips 1.

Things to Avoid 1. Buying Crabs at the Market: Look for the "인증" (certification) sticker to ensure you're buying high-quality seafood. 2. Taking Photos on the Bike Path: The bike path is backlit in the afternoon, which isn't ideal for photos. Visit in the morning for better lighting. 3. Fishing Boat Closure: Some fishing boats are closed on Wednesdays, resulting in fewer seafood options. Try to avoid visiting the seafood market on this day. Hidden Gems 1. Early Morning Crab Fishing: Join a fishing boat at 5:00 am to experience the thrill of crab fishing and get a glimpse into the lives of local fishermen. Remember to book in advance! 2. Lighthouse Souvenir Stamp Collection: Collect souvenir stamps from seven lighthouses along the coastline, each representing Yeongdeok's unique scenery. 3. DIY Seafood Specimen: Every Saturday, the Cultural Center offers DIY seafood specimen workshops, allowing you to "take home" a piece of Yeongdeok's marine life. Photo Tips 1. Ganggu Port: Capture the silhouettes of fishing boats against the golden sunrise as they return to port in the early morning for an atmospheric shot. 2. Ocean Bike Path: Use a GoPro for low-angle shots and create a cool cycling vlog, documenting your close encounter with the ocean. 3. Guryongpo: Wear light-colored clothing and take Japanese-style photos in front of the colorful warehouses for effortlessly stunning pictures.

The rooftop is full of photo zones everywhere! If you visit on a day with good weather, you'll be able to take a lot of great shots. I visited Oia, an exotic cafe. 💓
