Daegu Yangyeongsi Herb Medicine Street

I want to let you know about the Daegu Yangyeongsi Herb Medicine Festival which is held every year in May. This year, it started from May 3^rd to 7^th.

Even though the festival is held in May, you can always feel Daegu’s traditional herb medicine market culture anytime in Yangyeongsi.

Daegu Yangyeongsi is a seasonal market held in Feb and Oct, which has been crowded with many medicinal herb sellers, growers and herbalists, since 1658.

Yangyeongsi, propelled by Daegu citizens and herbalists, now has its own festival every May.

The highlight of the festival is chopping herb medicine contest.

Herbalists and university students majoring in herb medicine or related fields are showing their professional skills for herb medicine.

Nowdays, herb medicine is not only used as treatment but also flavor for food.
