Daegu’s Representative Premium Travel Route

What is the happiest yet the most bothersome step in travelling?
It’s the process and time of making a travel plan.
The Daegu’s Representative Premium Travel Route has been newly developed for you to save precious time! The Premium Travel package is categorized into three different destinations: Palgong Mountain healing route, monorail connected to a tour route in the center of the city, and the multi-region tourism route. The package is designed to let you have a customized travel that is in-line with your purpose. Each of the fresh designed premium travel packages will be introduced individually, starting today.  

Travel in the center of the city in a sky train, ‘Monorail’.

Monorail, a train that runs in the air, is a transportation method possessed by only 14 countries around the world, including Tokyo and Dubai. The monorail in Daegu is a no-man monorail and is best known for its long distance coverage. You can see the entire city when riding on a sky train 11m above ground and the experience is liberating to the core of the heart. I will introduce a tourist attraction in Daegu that gets you straight ahead by the monorail, an essential transportation system in a Daegu trip.

‘Hajungdo Island’, a cosmos island filled with breeze from the river and ‘Daegu Arboretum’, a green magical world

If you get down at Paldal station, the starting point of the Daegu trip via sky train, you can go to Hajungdo Island, also called as Cosmos Island. When autumn comes, the whole island of about 10㎡ entirely covers up in Cosmos. Walk a full round of the island following the track passing through the cosmos and take pictures. There are attractions placed along the tracks, like the pinwheel and the scarecrow.

The next spot to visit is the Daegu arboretum. Here, a green forest of 240,000㎡ stretches out. This was once used as a landfill area for residential wastes but 13 years ago, through a large-scale construction, it was reborn into a forest of life with fresh air and never-ending laughter of joy. They even hold forest introduction programs every 10 to 15 o’ clock from Tuesdays to Saturdays for free.

When you climb the Apsan Mountain Park, a mountain that the citizens of Daegu love, there is an observatory where you can see the entire city of Daegu in one sight. You will feel like flying–gazing at the Nakdong River, 83 Tower far away, Palgong Mountain, and the city view. This place is not only known for the day view, but also for the beautiful sunset and night view. You can quickly and conveniently go up to the observatory with a cable car.

Suseong River, a most loved place ever since the opening of the urban rail line 3, cools down the hot summer in Daegu. During spring and autumn, it becomes a popular walking track for families and couples. During the May to October season, you can watch the ‘music fountain show with image’ that harmonizes fountain and laser. On the west of the river is the ‘Arte Suseong Land’ made for kids.
