영남제일관

This historical gate is located in the garden of a luxury hotel called Inter Burgo in Daegu. In autumn, the park is very beautiful because all the leaves are yellowish orange. Apart from being able to enjoy the view of the autumn trees and the beauty of the historical gate, we can also try the luxurious buffet food at the Inter Burgo hotel which offers a variety of Korean food with views of the city Daegu. It is highly recommended to come to the buffet in the afternoon before sunset to enjoy the view when the sun is there and at night when the city lights are lit up beautifully.

When the 영남제일관 gate was first built in 1590 (23rd year of King Seonjo's reign), it was an earthen fort, but after being torn down during the Japanese invasion of Korea, it was rebuilt in stone in 1736 (12th year reign of King Seonjo). Yeongjo government) to make a stone fort. This castle has four main gates in the east, west, south and north.

Buffet at Hotel Inter Burgo

The buffet at this place is an unforgettable experience, because apart from the delicious and varied food, visitors are given a view of Daegu city from the restaurant window to see the beauty of the city at night.

Tower 83 is the most famous tourist icon in Daegu. There we can take the elevator to the sky deck on the 77th floor and see the view of Daegu city. Apart from that, on the 4F floor there is a terrace for taking photos with several objects such as the Sky Way cable car, and enjoying the view while sitting and drinking coffee. Downstairs there is a restaurant and also a souvenir shop selling various cute items made locally in Korea.

I went to 83 Tower in autumn, where the wind was quite cold. With the weather at that time, I spent more time indoors, namely in the 83 Tower building and looking at the merchandise being sold, rather than enjoying nature outside. For those of you who want to visit, please pay attention to the season when you come to adjust the clothes and activities you plan. In summer or spring, the sun will be very beautiful and suitable for taking photos. Apart from that, you can continue to E-world and play comfortably without having to experience cold.

Makan Mandu

Mandu is not a typical Daegu food, but when I was there, I really liked mandu which I tried and ate several times. I concluded that in Daegu the chef is good at making mandu and it is a popular lunch for local people there.
