During this holiday, major tourist attractions such as Space Walk and Marine Skywalk, as well as tourist information centers and tour guide services, will operate normally. Additionally, benefits such as a 10% discount on Pohang tourist taxis and a 20% discount on the use of Pohang National Leisure Camping Sites will be provided to attract tourists.


Moreover, as the global popularity of K-Hallyu content filmed in Pohang locations like Cheongha Gongjin Market, Guryongpo Japanese House Street, and Cheolgil Forest is rising, a "Pohang Chuseok Commemorative Event" has been prepared where visitors can directly experience and enjoy these sites throughout the region.


First, the "K-Drama Filming Location Certification Event" featuring dramas such as When the Camellia Blooms (Southern area), Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (Northern area), and This Romance Is an Irresistible Force (Downtown area) will be held continuously through SNS and other channels to attract tourists.


Along with this, on-site events such as ▲ Pohang Central Shopping Street Night Market - Hometown Love Happiness Harmony Festival (September 28) ▲ Space Walk Life Four-Cut Photo Booth (before and after Chuseok) ▲ Traditional Play Experience at Yeongildae Beach (on Chuseok day) will also be held.


Furthermore, Pohang City has organized a safety inspection team for tourist facilities to ensure a safe and happy Chuseok holiday by conducting pre-inspections of major tourist sites and locally registered tourism businesses.


Minor issues found during inspections will be corrected immediately on-site, and facilities requiring improvement will be promptly maintained through recommendations, creating an environment where tourists can enjoy a safe and comfortable rest in Pohang.


Kwon Hyuk-won, Director of the Job and Economy Bureau, said, "We have prepared special programs unique to Pohang that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy, harmonizing with K-Hallyu content during this Chuseok golden holiday. We hope visitors recharge their body and mind in Pohang, a city of K-tourism charm."
