Pohang Canal Visitor Guide — Location, Hours & Attractions
Discover Pohang Canal, a unique urban waterway cutting through the city's industrial heart. Explore its paths, decks, and cruise options.
Pohang Canal, completed in January 2014, cuts between Pohang's Songdo-dong and Jungdo 1-dong, connecting the waters under Dongbindaegyo Bridge with Hyeongsangang River to the south. The canal has a total length of 1.3km, adding on to the 8~10 km long seafaring road of Pohang. The canal is a restoration of an old water path, and the citizens have welcomed the eco-friendly construction as a community park. Many people enjoy walking along the canal or the romantic experience of riding on a cruise ship through the canal.
Why Pohang Canal matters
The presence of small cruise boats gliding along the water adds a dynamic element, providing a different perspective of the canal's length and the city skyline.
