Pohang Canal
포항운하
A city canal opened in 2014, where boat tours leave from the Canal Museum, pass Jukdo Market, and head into Yeongil Bay, offering close-up views of POSCO.
The Pohang Canal is about 1.3 kilometers long and links the Hyeongsan River with the Dongbin Inner Port, with walkways and parks along both banks. Boats depart from the pier at the Pohang Canal Museum, and a full loop takes about 40 minutes. The route passes the Jukdo Market area and continues to the mouth of the Hyeongsan River and Yeongil Bay, where you can see POSCO’s blast furnaces and port from the water. Boat tickets cost about 10,000 to 20,000 won. Arrive early during peak season and on weekends. The Canal Museum has exhibits on the history of the canal. It is about 1.5 kilometers from Jukdo Market.
