[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The marine skywalk being constructed in Yeonam District, Pohang City (around San 22, Yeonam-dong, Buk-gu) will hold its completion ceremony on the 13th and open to the public. The city is making every effort to finalize the last touches ahead of the ceremony.

The 'Yeonam District Skywalk' is a bridge made of special transparent glass flooring over the sea, allowing visitors to walk and experience the sensation of walking above the ocean. With an average height of 7 meters and a total length of 463 meters, it is the longest marine skywalk in the country.

Once on the structure, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Pohang Yeongil Bay, and it gives the unique sensation and thrill of standing seemingly in the middle of the sea.

Descending the stairs from the skywalk, visitors can also find a seawater pool with a depth of 1.2 meters, providing another attraction for citizens and tourists alike.

Additionally, the skywalk is harmoniously connected to the coastal trail along the shoreline, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural scenic beauty where the vast sea and rugged cliffs blend together.

Moreover, about 3 km away from the skywalk is the Hwanho Park Spacewalk, which opened last year and has gained great popularity, creating significant synergy and expected to inject new vitality into the local economy.

The Yeonam District Marine Cultural Space Development Project, promoted as a city policy project to develop marine cultural tourism content and create a waterfront space accessible to everyone by utilizing the surrounding beautiful scenery, will conclude with the completion of the marine skywalk.

This project has invested a total of approximately 14 billion KRW over about five years, completing the coastal promenade, village maintenance, and mooring facilities.

Choi Muhyung, Director of the Marine Industry Division, said, “We will do our best to operate and manage the facilities safely so that the Yeonam Skywalk can be loved as a representative tourist resource of Pohang.”
