Korean Peninsula Terrain [National Geopark] (한반도지형 (강원고생대 국가지질공원))
555 Hanbando-ro, Hanbando-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do
Korean Peninsula Terrain was formed by soil transported from upstream to the curvature of the confluence of two rivers. It is often referred to as Mini Korean Peninsula because it resembles the shape of the Korean Peninsula. It is said to have this appearance due to the erosion of the incised stream flowing around the terrain. It takes a 15-minute walk along the pine forest trail for about 800 meters from the parking lot to reach there. The well-maintained trail with many wildflowers and plants creates a welcoming atmosphere. Upon arriving at the observation point, visitors will be amazed by the beautiful curved river and the topography taking the same shape as the Korean Peninsula. Designated as the Gangwon Paleozoic National Geopar, this area has excellent geographical value because it shows the characteristics of the incised mender river as well.
Korean Spa Yeo Yong Guk (여용국 한방스파)
60 Seokchonhosu-ro 12-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul
Korean Spa Yeo Yong Guk was created under the philosophy of "a woman taking care of her face is akin to a king running a country." It was inspired by the ancient Korean novel titled "Yeoyonggukjeon" written by Ahn Jeong-bok from the Joseon Dynasty. Korean Spa Yeo Yong Guk understands that people have different body types, therefore applying the same massage method or medicinal herb to everyone will not always have the same effect. Different medicinal herbs and massage techniques should be applied according to one's body type.
Korean Traditional Culture Center (한국전통문화체험관)
13-5 Dalgubeol-daero 527-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu
Momyeongjae is an ancestral shrine built by the Dureung Doo clan to honor Doo Sa-chung, who had joined the Ming Dynasty's reinforcement troops during the Imjinwaeran (Japanese invasion of Korea, 1592) and later became naturalized in Joseon Dynasty. The name 'Momyeongjae' means 'longing for the Ming Dynasty,' expressing Doo Sa-chung's affection for his home country.Doo Sa-chung, who was from Duling, China, went to Joseon under the command of General Li Rusong from the Ming Dynasty. Doo Sa-chung took the position titled Suryuk Jihoek Jusa and was responsible for selecting locations to establish a stronghold in consideration of the terrain. As a senior adviser to Li Rusong, he closely discussed strategies and tactics with the Joseon army as well. When the war was over, Doo Sa-chung returned to China but went to Joseon again during the Jeongyujaeran (Japanese invasion of Korea, 1597). He brought his two sons -- Doo San and Doo Il-geon -- along with his brother-in-law, Admiral Chen Lin. When the war was over, Doo Sa-chung and his two sons naturalized in Joseon. The government of Joseon granted him land, which is the current Gyeongsang Gamyeong Park area.When the Gyeongsang Gamyeong (Gyeongsang provincial office) was relocated to this area, Doo Sa-chung offered his land to the government and moved to Gyesan-dong. Longing for his wife and brothers he had left in China, he moved again to a village near Daedeoksan Mountain (then Choejeongsan Mountain) and named the area Daemyeong-dong (meaning the Great Ming). He built a platform and on the first day of every month, he would bow in the direction of the Forbidden City in China, where the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty resided.Momyeongjae is built on a rectangular plot and faces south. It features a hip-and-gable roof with double-layer eaves and has four rooms in the front and two rooms on the side. The daecheongmaru (wooden floor hall) has two ondol (floor heated) rooms on each of its side, with a half-sized bay at the front. Momyeongjae exemplifies the early 20th-century ancestral shrine style commonly found in the Daegu area. The building was originally constructed in 1912 when Doo Sa-chung’s descendants moved wooden materials from the dismantled Gyeongsangaeksa (local government building) and used them to build Momyeongjae in front of Doo Sa-chung's tomb. The shrine was later renovated in 1966 as it was in poor condition. Momyeongjae is one of the first destinations visited by Chinese tourists in Daegu. It was recently renovated as part of a redevelopment project. The Korean Traditional Culture Center opened nearby, where visitors can experience tea ceremonies, hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), archery, and cooking dishes based on Donguibogam, a traditional Korean medical encyclopedia. Joining a program at the center will be a valuable experience.
