I happened to be here in early November while the Chrysanthemum Festival was taking place and it was absolutely beautiful! There were many sculptures made from Chrysanthemum flowers, so I highly recommend going there when they are in bloom. It was also fall, so the beautiful orange, yellow, and red leaves were everywhere. It was absolutely breathtaking.

You can get an affordable seat whether you want to sit near the cheerleaders or along the baseline. There is plenty of food and beer available inside at somewhat reasonable prices depending on what you want. The crowd is super fun, so happy to support the team. There are a song and dance for every player and everyone seems to know the words! Great family outing or just go as a baseball fan.

I heavily used the bus and subway systems during my stay in Daegu. Bus takes you closer but subway is much easier to use.Try the yellow line #3 for a unique experience. Its above ground monorail. Great shopping area was Banwoldang stop on the 1 or 2 Lines (green and red). I traveled to multiple cities during my stay and used my T-Money card. I could not recharge my card at the Daegu stations, but could do it at 7-11.

Do you guys also love night markets like me?? I enjoyed buying cheap foods, desserts & drinks here soooo much! The market itself was really big and filled with ppl, however they all wear masks and follow the rules well, so I didnt worry much about corona. P.s. Intestines are famous in Daegu, so make sure to try one here for a very cheap price!

I must admit there was not much in English, when we entered this nice little museum, but there are many visual arrangements, hands-on activities, and movies that give you a notion of what traditional Korean medicine is about. First of all, one should be aware that it is not a mere reproduction of Traditional Chinese medicine. While having its roots in China the theoretical foundations of present-day Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) were laid out at the end of the 19th century. During those decades China lost control over the Korean Kingdom while Japan's influence was steadily growing, eventually leading to the annexation of the country. It was during this short period of awakening and a certain independence, when a physician called Yi Je-ma published a book "Longevity and Life Preservation in Eastern Medicine" (1894), proposing what he called the Sasang typology. It divides people in four types based on their bio-psychosocial traits: Tae-Yang (Greater Yang), So-Yang (Lesser Yang), Tae-Eum (Greater Yin) and So-Eum (Lesser Yin). Depending on one's constitutional type the actual manifestations of a certain disease will differ from patient to patient. Respectively treatment methods have to take that into account, so they will differ for one and the same disease as well. Sasang medicine is a quite unique and interesting approach. Nowadays there are papers in English and even a book on Sasang medicine. Another important topic of this museum is the history of the old medicine market (Yangnyeongsi) in Daegu which once was situated near the old city walls. After the annexation of Korea by the Japanese in 1910 the walls were torn down and the market was about to be closed for ever. After heavy protests and rising unrest among the population the Japanese authorities decided to relocate the market to its present place. The museum has a nice gift shop and if you are lucky, one of the English speaking young ladies will give you a tour. If you are free to choose a convenient date for your journey to Daegu, I would recommend the beginning of May when they have the "Yangnyeongsi Herb Medicine Culture Festival" with many attractions all over the market quarter.
