"Si l’on compare la forme de la péninsule coréenne a à celle d’un tigre, Homigot (호미곶) à Pohang (Gyeongsangbuk-do) constitue la queue de l’animal. La place Homigot Sunrise est l'hôte du Festival Homogot Sunrise. On y trouve diverses installations comme un monument, un socle de torche et une scène de spectacle. A l’entrée se trouve un jardin jaune brillant et doré qui fleurit en avril et en mai. On peut aussi y voir une sculpture de bronze en forme de main située au bord de la mer : elle symbolise l'harmonie et la coexistence. La flamme est utilisée pour diverses compétitions sportives internationales. A proximité se trouve également le phare Homigot, qui est aussi un musée."

"Begin your day by catching a sunrise at Homigot Sunrise Square. The iconic bronzed hand sculpture represents hope and unity whilst the square is a testament to the beauty of new beginnings. TIP This spot is located on the easternmost point in all of Korea and is a popular place where the locals see the sun come up over the horizon on January 1st and the first morning of the lunar new year. Don’t worry if you can’t make it around this time it’s beautiful to see at any time of the year. "
"Homigot Sunrise Square, located at the easternmost point of the Korean peninsula in Pohang, South Korea, is renowned for being the first place in Korea to witness the sunrise each year. This scenic area features the Hands of Harmony, a striking bronze sculpture symbolizing coexistence, with one hand emerging from the land and the other from the sea."
