Gwibigo (Yeonorang Seonyeo Theme Park)

The story of Yeonorang and Seonyeo, recorded in the Samguk Yusa, is Korea's only sun-and-moon myth that reveals the origins of the sun and moon, and it is the representative folktale of Pohang, regarded as the archetype of ancient solar mythology. In the 4th year of King Adalla of Silla, when the couple Yeonorang and Seonyeo, who lived by the East Sea, crossed over to Japan, the sun and moon of Silla lost their light; but when Seonyeo's woven silk was brought back and a rite was held, the light was restored. The exhibition hall Gwibigo, named after the storehouse where that silk was kept, has exhibition rooms, a video hall, and a lounge from the first basement floor to the second above-ground floor, and vividly brings the folktale to life through animation, VR, and media experiences. Special themed exhibitions and culture-and-arts experience programs based on the folktale are also held. In the theme park where the exhibition hall is located, there are the Irwoldae with a panoramic view of Yeongil Bay, a Silla village styled with thatched houses, and the Ssanggeobuk Bawi (Twin Turtle Rock), making it a good place to stroll along with the sea scenery, and it also connects to the Homibando Coastal Trail.
