Daegu

Daegu


What is it? What is it known for?

Daegu is the fourth largest city in South Korea and holds the largest US military base in Korea. The city also has a long history tracing back to the Shilla dynasty.



E World is a theme park that is built around Woobang Tower. It is a European style park that has rides, food, and different things to visit like fountains and a waterfall.  83 Tower is located in the park and has one of the best views of the city as well as a restaurant that revolves around at the top.

Apsan Park is just one of the many areas to hike in Daegu that offers an amazing view of the city. It does take about 45 minutes to hike up this steep incline but you can also take the Apsan cable car up the mountain. It is recommended to go right before sunset to get the most beautiful views.
