Sights in Daegu

1. Jagalmadang

   • Daegu, South Korea
   • Sights › Square, plaza

   While anti-prostitution laws were recently tightened and the sex trade is supposed to be gone, Jagalmadang is one of Korea's 'big three'; the other two are in Busan and Seoul. Apparently the streets of Jagalmadang were once paved with small stones so that any girls trying to escape (or customers trying to get some action for free) would be heard. Although the lights are mostly pink, not red, it's a curious scene and can be interesting for foreigners, even women.

   Don't expect gratis nudity though - the women read, slurp noodles or text-message on their mobile phones.

2. Bullo-Dong Tumuli Park

   • Daegu, South Korea
   • Sights › Dark

   North of town, not far from Daegu airport, Bullo-Dong Tumuli Park covers some 330,000 sq metres. The grassy hillocks rising like bumps across the valley are tumuli (burial mounds, similar to those in Gyeongju). Dating from the 2nd to the 6th century AD, the tumuli are for both nobles and commoners - the higher the location on the hill, the higher the status of the person.
