Five lights are ‘Yeonohrang and Seohynyo’, ‘Sunrise of Homeeghot’, ‘smelter of POSCO’, ‘Pohang Light Source (PLS)’, and ‘Yeongil Bay Harbor’.

My favorite festival in Pohang is International Fireworks Festival. I have seen the festival from the fourth grade of elementary school. The festival has been seen by people for almost ten years. My most memorable year since the festival started. This year was more interesting and more people visited than other times. Many delicious food and accessories were sold at a tavern. The closing day, the streets were crowded with people. I went to see with my family, but it started to rain and many people raced for cover inside. My family came back home. We ate chicken and saw fireworks. What happened to this? My house is five minutes’ walk from Yeongildae Beach, and we could see the fireworks. We were safe from the rain. This year, I also liked this festival.

  1. Although I lived in Pohang for three years, I have never gone to International Fireworks Festival because I don't like the crowed places. However as I was reading your paragraph and looking the picture, I'm interested in International Fireworks Festival. Accordingly as I was reading the last sentence in your paragraph, I'm able to have an good idea. If I go this festival, I may watch fireworks in any cafe.
