Homigot - one of the best place to watch the sunrise

Homigot is the one of the best place in Korea to appreciate the sunrise on the first day of the year. It is located at Pohang-city in Gyengsangbuk-d0. Because it is the first place where we can see the sun in Korean peninsula, it is very crowded on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
I want to go there because it is so close to me........but I don't know whether I can.
Anyway, if I catch the chance to visit there, I will post my pictures on my blog^^.

This sculpture is called 'The hand of win-win'. I could not find better English word. However, I expect all of you can understand the meaning of it. It consists of two parts, one hand in the sea and the other hand on the land. It was built to pray for the harmony of the Korean faced with new millenium.

This picture is night-scene of the hand in the sea.

This picture is the hand on the land.

This is the light-house located near the hands. It was built in 1903, almost 100 years ago. Due to this fact, it was designated as a ruins.

This is the picture which took the moment when the squids were dried by wind. Because Pohang-city is adjacent to the sea, the fishery is prospering and there are some representative product of Pohang, such as Guamegi. I will show them next time^^.

This is the Haemaji park. Every January 1, there is a festival congratulating the new year. If you have a chance to go there, then you will experience something great.

I am planning to go there this January 1.

This is called 'the flame of millenium'. There is a kindling in the iron sphere. Every year, people ignite a sacred torch using it.

This is mulhoi(the raw fish soaked in water). It is one of the representative food in Pohang.
