II. Direction to Pohang

 
From Incheon international airport (ICN), there are three most common ways to Pohang.
 
1. KTX (bullet train) from Seoul station
 
     Take the airport railroad (AREX) to Seoul station first.
     It will take about an hour for a regular train. 
     I remember you can take a fast train as well, which is ~ a 40 minutes ride to Seoul station.
 
     From Seoul station, you can take a KTX to Pohang station, which is about 2.5~3 hour ride.
     You can make a reservation on the following website.
 
2. Airport limousine
 
   It takes about 5 or 5.5 hours but you can just put your baggage and sleep.
   The bus arrives at Pohang bus terminal and you can take a taxi there (~ 10 minutes drive).
  The time schedule is on the website below.
   (Please choose Gyeongsang first to find Pohang there.)
 
3. Flight from Gimpo airport (20~30 minutes away from ICN by the airport railroad) to Pohang
 
   There are a couple of flights from Gimpo airport to Pohang airport (takes about an hour).
   This is the fastest way to Pohang but, unfortunately, the number of flights has reduced a lot after the COVID19.
    If you arrive very early in the morning, this can be a wonderful option though.
