Along with this, Pohang City is actively promoting tourist sites linked to the recently highly popular Pohang-produced drama ‘My Perfect Secretary.’

‘My Perfect Secretary’ is expected to feature local tourist attractions such as ▲Yeonorang Seonyeo Theme Park ▲Igari Anchor Observatory ▲Songlim Theme Street in the latter part of the drama, and the city asked for much interest from tourists visiting Pohang during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Also, with the opening of the Donghae Line, access to Pohang’s representative tourist attractions has become much easier even from the Gangwon region, which was previously difficult to reach. The city expects this to give a strong boost to tourism during the Lunar New Year holiday and is providing various benefits such as accommodation discounts and free parking alongside promotional efforts to attract tourists.

Five public parking lots near Jukdo Market, a popular tourist spot, as well as public parking lots at Daehye Market, Keundonghae Market, and Bukbu Market will offer one hour of free parking during the Lunar New Year holiday to improve accessibility.

Additionally, starting from the 15th, to commemorate the opening of the Donghae Line, Pohang collaborated with the leisure platform ‘Yanolja’ to offer up to 40% accommodation discounts for tourists visiting Pohang. The event ended on the 19th on a first-come, first-served basis amid great interest.

Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, “I hope everyone spends a rich Lunar New Year holiday with family and relatives. We have prepared various events and programs so that visitors can have enjoyable and happy experiences in Pohang during the extended holiday, so I ask many people to come and enjoy.”
