Homigot Sunrise Square
📍 호미곶면, Pohang
Homigot sits at the easternmost point of the Korean Peninsula and is considered where the sun rises first; the Korean National Sunrise Festival is held here every year. Even outside the festival period, Homigot Sunrise Square is a signature attraction that draws steady visitors.
In the square stands the large bronze hand sculpture 'Hands of Harmony,' a popular photo spot. One hand is set in the sea and the other on land, so the two hands face each other. Built for the new millennium to symbolize helping one another, the sculpture gets especially crowded at sunrise.

Useful tips
- If you want to be there for sunrise, many people claim spots from before dawn, so arrive with time to spare.
- The line for photos in front of the Hands of Harmony can be long, so visiting slightly off-peak is a good idea.
- On New Year's Day it gets crowded for the sunrise festival, so visit on an ordinary day if you want to avoid the crowds.
