Daegu, Metropolitan city in southeastern South Korea.

Daegu extends through a valley enclosed by mountains reaching 1,100 meters, positioned near the convergence of Nakdong and Geumho rivers.

The city functioned as the capital of Gyeongsang Province during the Joseon dynasty from 1392 until the province split into North and South regions in 1896.

The Daegu National Museum contains collections of archaeological discoveries and regional art pieces that represent centuries of Korean civilization and creativity.

The metropolitan transportation network includes three subway lines, extensive bus routes, and direct connections to Seoul and Busan through high-speed rail services.

The Yangnyeongsi district maintains one of Korea's oldest medicinal herb markets, offering traditional remedies and natural health products since the 1658.
