1 Introduction to Pohang Homigot.
This is the place where the Korean Sunrise Festival, which started on January 1, 2000, is held every year.
Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, spent 12.4 billion won to create a space that contains the history of the start of the new millennium, the peaceful unification of the country, and the future orientation and symbolism of the new millennium.
Many tourists visit for various sunrise events such as the 2000 New Millennium Korean Sunrise Festival, the production of the largest soccer ball in the country in 2002, the 10,000-person rice cake soup making experience event in 2004, and the production of a giant Taegeukgi to wish for the success of the 2006 Germany World Cup.
On a site of 13,920 pyeong, there are the Hand of Mutual Growth, the torch stand, the Eyes of a Thousand Years, and the Yeonorang Seonyeo statue.
The Hand of Mutual Growth has the left hand on land and the right hand on the sea, and was created with the intention of all citizens helping each other as we welcome the new millennium.
In front of the left hand on land is a torch symbolizing the sun and coexistence.
The Millennium Eye is a sunlight collector that converts the infrared rays of sunlight into heat.
The embers in the Millennium Eye contain the last ember of the 20th century collected from the Byeonsan Peninsula, the embers of the Earth collected from Fiji in the South Pacific, the embers of the Zumen Sea collected from Dokdo, and the embers of the new millennium collected from Homigot, which are the embers of eternity.
The Yeonorang Seonyeo statue was erected to commemorate Yeongilman, the setting of the story.
It is said that the rock that Yeonorang rode rose from here.
There is a rape flower field at the entrance to the plaza, and the rape flowers bloom in full bloom every year around April to May.
In addition, there are many things to see around the plaza, such as Korea's first National Lighthouse Museum and a wind turbine that utilizes the strong sea breeze of Homigot.
