Pohang Space Walk

Getting around: Located in Pohang's Hwanho Park, roughly 40-50 minutes from central Gyeongju by bus.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 9am-6pm (some sources note 24-hour outdoor access to view, with the walkable structure itself on a set schedule).

Space Walk is a large steel sculpture in Pohang's Hwanho Park shaped like an elevated looping track that visitors can actually walk along, rising and curving above the park with sea views in the background — a striking, Instagram-friendly piece of public art built as part of Pohang's broader effort to develop coastal cultural attractions. It's a quick, novel stop rather than a deep cultural site.

Like Jukdo Market, it's technically in Pohang rather than Gyeongju proper, but is commonly grouped with Gyeongju-area itineraries given the two cities' proximity.
