One of Daegu's best-kept secrets, Daegu Arboretum

Daegu Arboretum is a little away from the center of Daegu. Because there’s no bus route to the Arboretum, you have to get off at Daegok Station and walk around 1.5km to Arboretum.

The right side of entrance was written in the Arboretum.

It was a little hard to ascend hill to the entrance though the distance was short.

Originally, this site had been used as a sanitary landfill until 1990 and was neglected due to the absence of a reasonable plan to utilize. After then, the city government constructed Eco-Friendly Arboretum to restore this area as ecological space. Through several years’ covering up with soil from subway construction site, this deserted place was replaced by an urban arboretum where placed more emphasis on the natural ecology site. For this reason, various education programs are provided and students’ group viewing is also endless.
