The third largest city in Korea, Dae Gu is located in the south east of the country.  This city in a valley experiences some of the hottest summers, and mildest winters, of mainland Korea.

One of the city's most popular attractions is Mount Palgong, located just outside the city.  The mountain offers stunning views of the countryside, and is home to a number of Buddhist temples.  Visitors will find numerous restaurants, coffee shops and jimjilbang (saunas) scattered throughout the region.  The mountain is accessible by car, taxi and city bus.

Dae Gu is linked to Seoul and Busan by the high speed KTX train.
