   Railway Forest & The Garden of Fire

   철길숲 & 불의정원

   The 4.3 km railway section between Hyoja Station in Nam-gu and the old Pohang Station, where trains ran for about 100 years, was decommissioned following the relocation of Pohang KTX Station in 2015. Passing through residential areas, the railroad tracks were transformed into an urban forest. Water features such as artificial waterfalls and musical fountains, along with steel art installations, captivate visitors, making it an exemplary model of forward-looking urban regeneration and green eco-city development.MoreLess

   Pohang Cruise

   포항크루즈

   Through Pohang City's ecological restoration project, the water route of Dongbin Naehang Port, which had been blocked for decades, was restored to its former state, creating a 1.3 km stream-like canal connecting the entrance of the Hyeongsan River to Songdogyo Bridge. Built in the middle of a city for the first time in Korea, Pohang Canal brought urban regeneration and ecological restoration. Linked with Pohang's new attractions—such as dining and shopping at Jukdo Market (the largest traditional market in Korea), Dongbin Naehang Port, Yeongildae Observatory, Songdo Beach, and the night view of POSCO—it has established itself as a must-visit destination. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy Pohang's diverse attractions in a more special way aboard the Pohang Cruise.MoreLess

   Pohang Canal

   포항운하

   Completed in January 2014, Pohang Canal is a waterway connecting Dongbin Bridge, located between Songdo-dong and Jukdo 1-dong in Pohang-si, with the Hyeongsan River from north to south. While the canal itself is 1.3 km long, it extends to 8–10 km when connected to sea routes. Restored from an old waterway and ecological environment, this space has been reborn as a public park and new tourist attraction. It is perfect for enjoying a romantic cruise along the waterway flowing through the city and is also frequented by many as a walking trail.MoreLess
