Welcome to DAEGU

Daegu (formerly spelled “Taegu”) is the fourth-largest city in South Korea and the capital of the Gyeongsangbuk Province. Lying at the junction of the Geumho and Nakdong rivers, the city has always served as a transportation hub for the region. During the Joseon Dynasty, it was the capital of Gyeongsang-do. Located in a basin surrounded by low mountains, the climate in the city is generally hotter in the summer than the rest of the peninsula. Daegu’s economy is driven by the metal and machine industries centered here. Of more interest to visitors is the city’s reputation for its Oriental medicine herb market in the central area. Although it is a major city, Daegu still retains some of its small-town charms.
