Pohang's Top Attractions on Private Tour with a licensed guide

Pohang Jukdo Market is the largest traditional market on the east coast of Gyeongbuk with approximately 1,500 stores. The somewhat chaotic appearance of the old market that extended to the port has been neatly renovated as the area has been reorganized. As a result, the local charm of the existing Jukdo Market has been maintained, but improvements have been made to the facilities and environment, giving it a more advanced appearance. With fresh seafood bustling among the lively appearances of the merchants, this place is called a food paradise with as many as 200 raw fish restaurants. You can taste Pohang’s unique gochujang mulhoe without broth, and the taste of freshly sliced fresh live fish mixed with fresh vegetables and sesame oil gochujang is truly exquisite. Jeonbok porridge with plump whole abalone is also famous nationwide, and in winter, you can taste Pohang’s specialty, gwamegi(dried fish).

If you go to Guryongpo, you will see Japanese houses where Japanese people lived over 100 years ago, which still remain intact. The alleys of Jangandong in Guryongpo, which were Japanese residences during the Japanese colonial period, still exude a Japanese atmosphere, like a scene from a movie. In fact, several years ago, when a certain broadcasting station’s popular drama ‘Eyes of Dawn’ was filmed, the alleys of Jangandong in Guryongpo were used as a filming set. There is a park made by the Japanese on the mountain behind the houses. If you climb the steep stone steps, you will come across the park, and inside you will see the Yongwangdang, where they prayed for the safety of sailors. They built a group residence, decorated a park on the back mountain overlooking the ocean, and engraved their names on the monuments. However, when the Japanese left, they covered up all the records with cement, turned the monuments upside down, and engraved the names of the Guryongpo patriots there.

Located in Hangsa-ri, Ocheon-eup, ‘Oeoji’ is a representative tourist attraction of Pohang, along with the beautiful natural scenery of Unjesan Mountain and Oeosa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple of Silla, and is visited by many people throughout the four seasons. On a clear day, the shadow of the mountain is reflected in the calm reservoir, creating a spectacular sight. It creates a different atmosphere depending on the season, and the beautiful scenery is especially at its peak in the fall when the leaves change color. It is a temple founded during the reign of King Jinpyeong, the 26th king of Silla. It was originally called Hangsa Temple, but it is said that when Wonhyo Daesa and Hyegong Seonsa practiced asceticism here, they competed to revive dead fish in the stream using their Buddhist powers.

The observatory, which is shaped like an anchor anchoring a ship near the beautiful Igari Beach and the blue pine trees, is 10m high and 102m long, and offers a panoramic view of the beautiful Igari Beach and the refreshing sea of ​​Pohang. It is also a hot place visited by many tourists as it was the main filming location for the popular drama 'My Perfect Secretary' aired on SBS.

The road adjacent to Yeongil Beach, which was crowded with cars and citizens, has been transformed into a people-centered space, providing a resting place for citizens and tourists, and with around 50 raw fish restaurants clustered together, you can taste Pohang’s specialties such as mulhoe (raw fish) and assorted raw fish. With Songdo Beach and POSCO to the right and Hwanho Sunrise Park to the left, it is a place with a particularly beautiful night view, so many citizens and tourists visit even when it is not the beach season. With around 80 businesses including raw fish restaurants and restaurants clustered together in the vicinity, it is a representative tourist destination in Pohang where you can make good memories with the ocean.
