Situated on the eastern coastline, Pohang is a city in the North Gyeuongsang Province of South Korea. Divided by the Hyeongsan River, Pohang is a cultural center for Korea's traditional cultural attractions like its ancient capital, mountainous Buddhist temples, gorgeous beaches, and other historical buildings you must not miss out on. If that is not your cup of tea, catch the summer fireworks festival at a Bakbu Beach bar or root for the Pohang Steelers at their K-league soccer matches. The Korean wave has taken the world by storm, hop on the bandwagon before it is too late.

Primarily a military air base, Pohang Airport also serves a select number of civil commercial flights from international and domestic airlines like Asiana Airlines and Korean Air, which connect from Seoul, Jeju, Busan, and Daegu. Direct international flights usually make a stopover in Seoul's Incheon Airport for customs and immigration checks before proceeding to Pohang since there are no direct flights from the United States. Korean Air and Asiana Airlines offer many flights departing for Incheon Airport from most US states. However, if direct flights to Seoul are not available, try connecting from China or Japan where South Korea's premier airline, Korean Air, services frequently.
