Daegu Jeil Church is the oldest Protestant Church in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. Initially established in 1898 over four tile-roofed houses, Daegu Jeil Church was rebuilt in 1933 with traditional and Western architectural designs. Subsequently, Deacon Lee Ju-Yeol dedicated a 33m bell tower in 1937, whlie the church underwent an interior renovation in 1969, and an expansion in 1981.

In conjuction with its physical development, which was at the forefront of the nation's architectural modernization, the church contributed largely to modernization and expansion of Christianity in the region as well as in Korea. In addition, by introducing modern medicine and education to the citizens of Daegu, the founders of Daegu Jeil Church stimulated social development in the region.

Jjimgalbi, steamed beef ribs, is a popular Korean dish. What sets Bongsan Jjimgalbi (봉산찜갈비) apart is that the restaurant serves the ribs in nickel-silver bowls that have higher thermal conductivity, which helps to bring out the best flavor and texture in meat. Furthermore, the popularity of Bongsan Jjimgalbi has given rise to other jjimgalbi restaurants on the same street that is now known as Dongin-dong Jjimgalbi Street. Today, jjimgalbi remains a representative local specialty of Daegu, and one of the most popular Korean dishes among international visitors.

Established in December 1921, the Gyonam YMCA Hall served as a gateway to the modern movement in Daegu. During the Japanese colonial period, it was a meeting place and a base for Christian national movements such as the Product Promotion Movement, the Christian Rural Movement, and the Singanhoe Movement. This hall is a two-story red brick building built by the American missionary Blair in 1914. It retains the characteristics of the 1910s and '20s masonry construction, such as decorating the first and second floors with cornices and securing a square window with arches. In the early days, it was used as a place for students' education, evening classes, and lectures.
