Apsan Park
A forested mountain park on the city's edge, with a cable car up to a sweeping view over Daegu.
Why go
Apsan Park spreads across the wooded slopes south of Daegu, laced with hiking trails, small temples and a cable car.
The observatory near the top offers one of the best city panoramas in the country — Daegu laid out below, especially at sunset and after dark.
One of Daegu's largest parks, Apsan holds the Nakdong River Victory Memorial commemorating a key 1950 Korean War battle line, along with old temples and hermitages. Its cable car and ridge observatory give one of the country's finest night views over the city.
