Pohang, Industrial port city in North Gyeongsang, South Korea
Located on the eastern coast of South Korea, Pohang extends along Yeongil Gulf with the Sea of Japan, covering both urban districts and agricultural plains.
The transformation of Pohang from a fishing village accelerated in 1930 when engineers constructed a modern harbor through shoreline modifications and river diversions.
The Yeongildae Beach fireworks festival brings together residents and visitors each summer for performances, food, and celebrations near the waterfront.
The city maintains connections through railroad services to Seoul and Daegu, while ferries departing from the port transport passengers to Ulleung Island.
POSCO steel manufacturing facilities in Pohang produce millions of tons of steel annually, establishing the city as a central point for South Korean industry.
