Dongseong-ro Street The busiest and most vibrant street in the heart of Daegu
The busy 900-meterlong section between the Daegu Station Junction and the Security Center in downtown Daegu, Dongseong-ro is the favorite thoroughfare for Daegu’s youth. The street originally formed the eastern part of the walled town of Daegu-eup, but the wall was pulled down due to road construction in 1907. The street contains an open-air theater built in front of the Daegu Department Store and a pedestrian zone paved with rectangular blocks of hewn stone, similar to those used to build fortress walls. The zone is linked with several alleys packed with street vendors selling jewelry, snacks, bags, fashion and vintage goods. Korea’s first “Public Transport Zone” (1.05km from Banwoldang Junction and Daegu Station Junction) opened in 2009 and attracts shoppers seeking new designs and a modern environment.
