Description:
The biggest draw of Daegu is this 350-year-old market. With its origins during the Joseon Dynasty, the entire alley is lined with herbal medicine shops, acupuncturists, and all manner of traditional oriental medicine. Even if you're not looking for a cure, it's great fun to smell the earthy scents of dried roots and peer into glass jars filled with ginseng roots and other bizarrely beautiful cures. The Wholesale Herbal Medicine Fair is held on the first floor of the nearby Yangnyeongsi Exhibition Hall every first and sixth day of the month. The Yangnyeongsi Festival is held here usually the second week in May.
