• Samunjin Naruto
  
  Samunjin Ferry was used in the past as a boat route for peddlers to travel
  from Busan to Daegu by going up the Nakdong River.
  
  There are two theories about the origin of the name Samun. One theory is that
  'since it was the gateway to a large temple called Inheungsa (仁興寺) in Bonri-
  ri, Hwawon-eup (Inheung Village), it was called Samunjin (寺門津) with the
  character for temple (寺) written in it.' Another theory is that 'since there
  was sand by the river, the character for sand (沙) was written in it and ships
  carrying salt and other items came in through the port, so it was called
  Samunjin (沙門津) because it was the gateway for local goods to go to other
  regions.'
  
  Samunjin Ferry was established in the 28th year of King Sejong's reign in the
  Joseon Dynasty and was used as a trade warehouse (Hwawonchang) for 40 years
  until the reign of King Seongjong. There was a Waemulgo, which served as the
  center of trade with Japan, and it served as the center of transporting goods
  along the Nakdong River.
  
  On March 26, 1900, American missionaries Side Bottom and his wife brought the
  first piano to Daegu through here, and it was the filming location for 'The
  Boat Without an Owner' directed by Lee Kyu-hwan during the Japanese colonial
  period.
  
  The current appearance of Samunjin Ferry almost disappeared into history when
  Samunjin Bridge was opened in 1993 connecting Hwawon-eup and Dasan-myeon,
  Goryeong-gun. However, a piano plaza was created, three traditional tavern
  villages were restored, and a historical park was created around the Samunjin
  Ferry.
  
  The tavern village has thatched roofs, creating the atmosphere of an old ferry
  terminal. In the center of the Samunjin ferry terminal tavern village stands a
  zelkova tree, a totem pole, and a jangseung (totem pole). Various sculptures
  that indicate that this is a place where pianos were imported are located
  throughout the park.
  
  There is also a 1-hour cruise ship that departs from Samunjinnaru Port and
  travels to Dalseong Wetland, Gangjeongbo Diark, and Dalseongbo.

  
  

• Dalseong Wetland (Daemyung Reservoir)
  
  This is a large-scale wetland in Daegu. It is famous for its beautiful wild
  flowers in all four seasons and as a winter migratory destination, and is home
  to more than a dozen endangered species, including frogs, snakes, otters,
  eagle owls, and black eagles. Due to its ecological value, it was selected as
  one of the six scenic views of Nakdong River, twelve scenic views of Nakdong
  River, and twelve scenic views of Dalseong. Daegu City also designated it as a
  wetland protection area and a wild flora and fauna protection area in 2007,
  and is managing it as a tourist attraction.

  
  

• Diak
  
  The Diak, located at the confluence of the Nakdong River and Geumho River, is
  a landmark of Daegu with its unique architectural style alone.
  
  The ARC stands for 'Architecture of River Culture' and 'Artistry of River
  Culture' as a building and artwork that contains everything about river
  culture with an elegant and geometric approach to the sky, earth and culture.
  
  The building is an elegant, geometric piece of architectural art that embodies
  all aspects of river culture, combining natural forms such as water buffalos
  gliding across the river's surface and fish leaping out of the water with the
  traditional elegance of Korean ceramics.
  
  It is loved by everyone from leisure cyclists to couples and families, and it
  becomes even more beautiful in the evening, so you can make a special day just
  by going up to the observatory and having a cup of tea as the sun sets.
