Does the eSIM work on Ulleungdo island?

Around Dodong and Jeodong harbours you'll get usable 4G, but coverage genuinely drops on the island's cliff-hugging roads and remote Nari Basin. Download offline maps and your ferry tickets before leaving Pohang.

How do I get around North Gyeongsang without a car?

KTX reaches Gyeongju's Singyeongju station, with intercity buses to Andong and Pohang. Within towns, taxis via KakaoT fill the gaps. Keep Naver Map and Bustago live to time the connections.

Good to know in North Gyeongsang

If you plan the ferry from Pohang to Ulleungdo, download maps and tickets while still on the mainland — the crossing and the island's cliff roads have real signal gaps, and sailings are often cancelled in rough seas.

Best time to visit North Gyeongsang

Autumn (October-November) is finest, when Gyeongju's ginkgo-lined roads and Andong's riverside villages glow gold; spring cherry blossoms are a close second.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in North Gyeongsang.

Gyeongju

Gyeongju's tumuli park, Bulguksa and Donggung Palace run on solid 4G/5G, so audio guides and maps load quickly between sites.

Andong

Around Andong's Hahoe Folk Village and Dosan Confucian school, data is dependable in town and steadier than the deep countryside.

Pohang

Pohang's Homigot sunrise plaza and Yeongildae beach carry strong coastal 5G, ideal for uploads and ferry bookings to Ulleungdo.

Ulleungdo

On remote Ulleungdo island, expect usable 4G in Dodong harbour but genuine gaps on the cliff roads and around Nari Basin.
