The pavilion is a short walk from the bus stop.
Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, hail a taxi from anywhere in Pohang. Show the driver the address '816 Namsansunhwan-ro, Bae-dong, Gyeongju.' The ride will take approximately 30 minutes depending on traffic. This option is more expensive but offers convenience.
