Daegu Apsan Park (대구앞산공원)
Apsan Mountain is a 600 meter-high mountain in Nam-gu, Daegu, flanked by Sanseongsan Mountain (653 m) and Daedeoksan Mountain (546 m) to the left and right. Apsan Park is located in the valley where the three mountains converge.
Apsan Park is one of the largest urban eco-parks in Daegu, covering an area of around 1,680 square meters. A cable car runs 790 meters up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain are leisure facilities where visitors can enjoy archery, horseback riding, and swimming. There is also a monument that commemorates the poet Yi Ho-wu as well as Nakdonggang River War Memorial Hall (established in 1979) and Keungol Daedeok Dongsan Hill, which has a fabulous garden, perfect for dates or family outings.
As a major leisure place for Daegu citizens, the park has numerous walking trails. Largely, the routes can be categorized into three groups: ones that start from the park and connect to Apsan Mountain, those that go from the park to Sanseongsan Mountain, and those that wind along to Daedeoksan Mountain. The length of the paths varies from 2 to 4 kilometers, allowing visitors to choose the path that best fits their capabilities and preferences. Visitors can capture the view of Daegu from the Apsan Observatory after getting off the cable car.
