Daegu Korean Chinese Association building is a red brick two-story Western-style house built in 1929. Seo Byeong-guk, a rich man in Daegu, entrusted the design and construction to Mo Mungeum, a Chinese architect. It is a flat rectangular structure, and the protruding granite porch balances left and right symmetry. There is a theory that the bricks were brought from Pyeongyang and the woods from Geumgangsan Mountain. It was also used as an HID (Headquarters of Intelligence Detachment) building. There is one building, a playground, a statue of Chiang Kai-shek, and a mural of a Chinese figure painted at the entrance. It is a representative modern building in the Daegu area that boasts a beautiful appearance and is currently used as the office of the Daegu Korean Chinese Association. It was designated as a National Registered Cultural Heritage on June 19, 2006, as it shows the style of modern architecture in the 1930s, not many examples of which are left. This is the last stop of Daegu Modern Alley Tour Course 2.

Located in central Daegu, Gyeongsanggamyeong Park was built during the 34th year of King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty (1601) and was the original location of Gyeongsanggamyeong (1910), the office of the Gyeongsangbuk-do governor. In 1965 the provincial office was moved to another location and the park opened its doors to the public under the name of Central Park. The park was renamed again in 1997 and has been known as Gyeongsanggamyeong Park ever since.

Many cultural and historical heritages are located in the park including the Seonhwa-dang building where the governor worked (Daegu Tangible Cultural Property No.1); the Jungcheong-gak building that was one of the governor’s residences (Daegu Tangible Cultural Property No.2); and Seonjeong-bi gravestone where governor’s achievements are engraved. Seonhwa-dang building in particular has historical significance since it is one of the few remaining government buildings.

The park is well loved by citizens for its green forest, beautiful flowers, well-developed grass plaza, scenic fountain area, and its comfortable walking paths.
