Walking the Red Clay Trail, a Famous Healing Spot

Take some time to nurture your mind and body — walk among trees stretching refreshingly toward the sky and feel the red clay path beneath your feet. Hanbat Arboretum, the largest of its kind in the central region, is a place to enjoy lush nature in the heart of the city. Jangdong Forest Bathing Area, located below Gyejoksanseong Fortress, holds a 14.5km red clay trail that makes for a truly special forest bath.

   Daejeon Expo Science Park

   대전엑스포과학공원

   This science park was created to make use of the facilities and grounds of the 1993 Daejeon Expo (Daejeon World's Fair) for public science education after the event ended. It now keeps open only its most popular pavilions — the Space Exploration Hall, Technopia Hall, Hanbit Tower, Earth Hall, Expo Memorial Hall, Information and Communication Hall, Electric Energy Hall, Nature and Life Hall, and Energy Hall — moving away from a video-heavy format to focus more on visitor experience, and it is a popular nighttime spot where dazzling fireworks add an exotic atmosphere.
