Metropolitan City in Yeongnam, South Korea

About Daegu

Daegu is in the middle of a wide, flat rectangular valley, and hosts one of the country's largest U.S. military bases. It was promoted to a federal territory city (a city under the direct control of the central government) in 1981. In addition, in 1995, it was promoted from a federal territory city to a metropolitan city and maintains the current name of Daegu Metropolitan City. The obligatory South Korean slogan for the city is 'Colorful Daegu'. The Chinese character "大", which means there are many large hills, was used. Daegu administers itself, although it is mostly surrounded byNorth Gyeongsangprovince and therefore is placed there in our hierarchy. Daegu and surrounding North Gyeongsang Province are often referred to as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, with a total population of over 5 million. Durin
