  Jukdo Market

  Pohang Jukdo Market is the largest traditional market on the east coast of Gyeongbuk with approximately 1,500 stores. The somewhat chaotic appearance of the old market that extended to the port has been neatly renovated as the area has been reorganized. As a result, the local charm of the existing Jukdo Market has been maintained, but improvements have been made to the facilities and environment, giving it a more advanced appearance. With fresh seafood bustling among the lively appearances of the merchants, this place is called a food paradise with as many as 200 raw fish restaurants. You can taste Pohang’s unique gochujang mulhoe without broth, and the taste of freshly sliced fresh live fish mixed with fresh vegetables and sesame oil gochujang is truly exquisite. Jeonbok porridge with plump whole abalone is also famous nationwide, and in winter, you can taste Pohang’s specialty, gwamegi(dried fish).

  If you go to Guryongpo, you will see Japanese houses where Japanese people lived over 100 years ago, which still remain intact. The alleys of Jangandong in Guryongpo, which were Japanese residences during the Japanese colonial period, still exude a Japanese atmosphere, like a scene from a movie. In fact, several years ago, when a certain broadcasting station’s popular drama ‘Eyes of Dawn’ was filmed, the alleys of Jangandong in Guryongpo were used as a filming set. There is a park made by the Japanese on the mountain behind the houses. If you climb the steep stone steps, you will come across the park, and inside you will see the Yongwangdang, where they prayed for the safety of sailors. They built a group residence, decorated a park on the back mountain overlooking the ocean, and engraved their names on the monuments. However, when the Japanese left, they covered up all the records with cement, turned the monuments upside down, and engraved the names of the Guryongpo patriots there.
