   Hyeonpung Seokbinggo (Sang-ri Seokbinggo)

   현풍석빙고(상리석빙고)

   Located about 300 meters from the Hyeonpung-myeon Office in Dalseong-gun, Hyeonpung Seokbinggo (Stone Ice Storage) is also called 'Sang-ri Seokbinggo.' While there are various theories about when it was built, nothing is certain, but a commemorative stone inscribed with 'November of the Gyeongsul Year, Two Cycles after the Start of the Chongzhen Era (崇禎紀元後二庚戌十一月)' was discovered during renovation work in 1982, indicating it was built in 1730 (the 6th year of King Yeongjo). Although not very large in scale, its construction predates that of Gyeongju Seokbinggo (1738), Andong Seokbinggo (1737–1740), and Changnyeong Seokbinggo (1742). MoreLess

   Lunch (Original Hyeonpung Park So-seon Halmae Jip Gomtang)

   점심식사(원조현풍박소선할매집곰탕)

   Gomtang (beef bone soup) was once eaten as a restorative, nourishing dish. Park So-seon Halmae Jip Gomtang is widely recognized as a master of this dish. This very place in Ha-ri, Hyeonpung-myeon, is the original restaurant opened by grandmother Park So-seon. Since she first opened its doors in 1945, the restaurant has continued across generations for over 60 years, specializing solely in gomtang. Today, her daughter-in-law, Ahn Gyeong-sun, prepares the food using secrets learned over 30 years under her mother-in-law's guidance. MoreLess

   Daegu Duryu Park

   대구두류공원

   Duryu Park is located in the northeastern part of Dalseo-gu, at the heart of Daegu. Established in 1977, the park encompasses Duribong and Mogeusan, with Duryusan and Geumbongsan as its main peaks. E-World (formerly Woobang Tower Land) stands on Duryusan, while the hill behind the Culture & Arts Center is Geumbongsan. According to historical records, Duryusan was originally called Durisan because of its rounded shape; when local place names were written in Hanja, it was recorded as Jusan or Duryubong, which carried the same meaning, before settling on the name Duryusan in modern times.
