Daegu, a mecca for everything from fashion to optical technology, is located in southeast Korea. The city, population 2.5 million, is bordered by Mt. Palgongsan and Mt. Bisoolsan.

Its claims to fame include year-round fashion shows, tombs from Korea's three ancient kingdoms and the distinction of having hosted international sporting events including the World Cup 2002 and the Summer Universiade Daegu 2003.

As a global textile manufacturing city, Daegu is a trendsetter. Whether it comes to innovate eyeglass technology or major contributions to the IT industry, Daegu has put itself on the map as a city of the future.

But as modern as it is, the past and nature are highly preserved in Daegu. The Daegu Hyanggyo Confucian Academy is a center for etiquette education and traditional marriages, just as it was centuries ago. Ancient Korea is also on display at Daegu's museums. There are also temples and traditional villages, not to mention, the classic thrill offered by riding cable cars on Mt. Palgongsan.

The city also boasts more parks and trees than any other city in Korea.

Plus the attractions abound. From a Herb Garden to a street lined with oriental medicine shops, from a fashion festival to a fete just for opera, the things to do in Daegu are endless.

So head south now. You'll see why they call Daegu a "colorful city."
