Apart from Seoul, the capital of South Korea, which has been winning over travelers' hearts, Pohang has succeeded in attracting visitors from all over the world by offering its stunning and spectacular scenery. It naturally gives the essence of the beauty of nature to every wanderer, paving the way for it to captivate guests.

Pohang has been used as a filming location for many different Kdramas, but Hometown Cha Cha Cha's Gonjin is the most recent and loved by lots of viewers. Kim Seon Ho and Shi Min Ah of Hometown Cha Cha Cha star in a drama that takes place in the imaginary city of Gonjin. The series' original setting was the stunning city of Pohang.

It has been a year since Pohang's charms were revealed through Gongjin, but now the city has a new attraction and is continuing to fascinate both locals and foreign tourists thanks to a 25-meter-tall art installation that has been installed there.

In the beautiful city of Pohang, at the top of the hills of Hwanho Park, sits Space Walk. Along with the enjoyment of strolling on this installation like a roller coaster, it also offers you serenity as you can observe from the top the lovely scenery of Pohang and the tranquil waters of Yeongildae Beach.

You will have to make a decision between two options when it comes to this art installation: if you simply want to take in the scenery of South Korea's Pohang and enjoy leisurely strolling, you can take the first end of the Space Walk trail. But you can choose the second end of the coaster if you want to put yourself, your friends, your boyfriend or girlfriend, or perhaps even all of them, to the test with an adventurous climb!

The handrails were installed with numerous lights not only to guide people as they ascended the Space Walk stairs but also to display their glow at night, so that their beauty during the day is just as stunning as that during the evening. Anyone who loves the sky, stars, lights, and heights will find the chilling nighttime wind and the night sky at this location to be the perfect combination!

The beauty of the sky at the Space Walk during the day is just as gorgeous as it is at dusk—so whenever you want to visit this place, day or night, anytime will be good and will still be perfect! But always keep in mind to first check the weather and be aware of your surroundings before visiting the location.

You can finally experience South Korea's Space Walk if you wish to do so, and it will take you 3 hours to get there by KTX train and bus, or if you have your own car or a rented car. In light of this, you are welcome to visit and take a look at some of Pohang's stunning locations, including Guryongpo Beach, Yeongildae Beach, and Juwangsan National Park!
