The Innovation Tour Group began their schedule by arriving at Pohang City Hall, where they received an overview of the Pohang Greenway policy and the project implementation process from relevant officials. Both cities pledged to share information and strengthen cooperation for the creation of a "green ecological city."

Next, the group moved to Pohang Cheolgil Forest, the flagship project of the Pohang Greenway policy, where they toured Oak Square and Hanteo Madang. They then boarded an exhibition train car within the forest to watch various videos and experienced Pohang's transformation into a green city through the metaverse.

At the Fire Garden in Cheolgil Forest, the group highlighted the innovative use of flames generated by gas emissions as a tourism resource. They also showed great interest in the various steel art sculptures that are bringing culture to the forest.

After experiencing several innovative cases and holding on-site discussions at Cheolgil Forest, the tour group moved to Space Walk, the largest experiential sculpture in Korea, where they listened to a detailed explanation and had the opportunity to experience the sculpture firsthand.
