Pohang đang chuyển mình từ một trung tâm thép thành một trung tâm vật liệu pin xe điện và du lịch hàng hải, hướng đến việc trở thành thủ đô pin của Hàn Quốc.
@EllenInEdmonton There are no hotels in #Mureung Valley. It was either taking bus+train back to a bigger city or trying this little pension nearby (2,5 km). Actually there is even a temple at walking distance, but as I wrote I am not prepared yet for the experience 😄
Then I booked through Naver Maps in #Pohang too, because all the options in Booking were a bit expensive. Again it's another cheap pension.
I'm actually quite impressed at accommodation prices. Everything is so cheap.
South Korea has designated Seosan and Pohang as Industrial Crisis Response Areas through August 2027, targeting support for struggling petrochemical and steel sectors with emergency funding and policy measures.
The South Korean government is expediting its review of designating Pohang as an industrial crisis response zone, meeting with local steelmakers and officials to address the region’s steel industry challenges amid global oversupply and trade headwinds.
