Why go

Homigot Lighthouse is one of Korea's most consequential coastal landmarks — set at the easternmost point of mainland Korea in Pohang, with the famous 'Hand of Harmony' sculptures rising from the sea and the iconic Homigot Lighthouse marking the geographic milestone. The lighthouse has been a Pohang signature destination for sunrise viewing, particularly during New Year season. For travelers serious about Korean geographic milestones and sunrise destinations, Homigot is one of the strongest specialty single picks.
