🌊 Pohang 2 Days 1 Night Under RM300 – Sea, Sushi & Space Walk! 🇰🇷

#asiabudgetchallenge Took a spontaneous coastal escape to Pohang with just RM290—and it felt like discovering Korea’s best-kept secret. Took a highway bus from Seoul (~RM90 round‑trip), stayed in a cozy guesthouse near Yeongildae Beach (~RM100), and explored the city’s quirky attractions and local eats. 💸 Budget Breakdown • Transport (bus + local): RM90 • Stay (1 night): RM100 • Food & snacks: RM60 (fresh sashimi, mulhwe, street snacks) • Attractions & transport pass: RM40 🌟 Highlights • Yeongildae Beach & Space Walk: Walk the stainless-steel sculpture over the sea at sunset. It’s bigger than it looks—feel suspended above water!    • Jukdo Market: Seafood heaven—shop for mulhwe and try super fresh sashimi for cheap.  • Homigot “Hand of Harmony” & Lighthouse: Iconic sunrise spot and artsy lighthouse—great for photos and drama.  “The space walk is cool, but if it’s windy, it’ll be closed… But I did go and take pictures.”  “Loved the sea and checking out the temple shaped like a dragon…”  💡 Pro Tip Take the bus pass or day bus tickets at the station—they’re affordable and reach most highlight spots. Visit Space Walk at evening, and if it’s windy it might close—so check the weather first!   💬 Would you stay up for a sunrise at Homigot or eat fresh sashimi by Jukdo Market?👇 #pohang #koreatrip #budgettravel #asiabudgetchallenge #seasideescape #myitinerary #thingstodo #hiddenkorea
