Things to Do in Daegu
Daegu is the fourth largest city in South Korea after Seoul, Busan, and Incheon. It is located in south-eastern Korea, near Busan than Seoul. Daegu is officially known as Daegu Metropolitan City (대구광역시) and a city surrounding by mountain.
Have you ever heard 'Daefrica' (Daegu Africa)?
Yeah, it is nickname for Daegu as the hottest city in South Korea. That's why Daegu hold Chimek (chicken-mekju) event in every summer. The best time to visit Daegu is in spring and autumn actually, but winter will not be a problem. The weather will not drop too much and not as cold as Seoul weather, but it is hard to find snow in Daegu.
