Driving and sightseeing at once

What kind of dates have you done? 

Usually, ‘dating’ is going to the movies, cafe or amusement park.  For sometimes, what about enjoying seaside driving rather than just wandering town? 

We recommend Road No. 929 where you can enjoy both Homi Cape and seaside driving at once.

So-called Homi Cape Circuit Road, this road starts at the downtown of Pohang Namgu and return to Pohang City after traveling along the seaside.  

Let’s go on a drive to Road No. 929 where you can enjoy both Homi Cape and seaside driving at once.

There is a cape at the end of Jangibando in Pohang City.  That’s called Homi Cape.  Its name is originated as it is located at the ‘tail’ part of tiger-shaped the Korea Peninsula.  What you can see first as you arrive at Homi Cape is the sculpture called ‘Hand of Coexistence’.  Completed in December 1999, this sculpture was built to hope for helping each other in the upcoming new Millenium.

The characteristic of this road is driving with the scenery of seaside. View of sunset through a car window is marvelous.

People are crowded at New Year’s Day to see the first sunrise of the year. Rarely, the road is blocked as if it’s a parking lot.

You can easily find fishing boats anchored in the port. Pohang is busy with catching crabs in autumn. Among them, Guryongpo Port close to Road No. 929 holds half of the catch.

Rice fields are spread out while driving along the road. Rice and silver grass make you feel autumn deeper and wider.

Take a rest while driving along the road if you find a view in your favor. Road No. 929 has multiple byways to villages. Especially, Gumanri Village has a unique natural landscape cannot be seen in an urban area. Every May, Gumanri Village is filled with waves of barley with the blue sea as a background.
