[2025 Daegu Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Daegu Dongseongno Street (Updated Jun)

#TravelKorea Daegu is a major tourist city in South Korea, just 1 hour from Busan. The most prominent shopping area in this city is Dongseong-ro Street (대구 동성로거리), which is 5 times larger than Myeongdong in Seoul. It has everything a teenager needs. There are also many restaurants in this area to choose from. Daegu is not a capital city, nor a major tourist city. Therefore, most of the people who come to shop are locals. Therefore, when shopping, it is not as crowded as in Seoul. Here, you can walk around and shop comfortably, and the prices are affordable.

In the previous article, I wrote that Daegu’s most valuable guarantee is really its people. It is perfectly interpreted again in this bookstore. I really recommend everyone to buy this photography album on the cover. In fact, I walked in that day, walked around twice, touched around, and left. During that time, there was a group of tourists in front of me, a couple, who seemed to be people. They bought a book and then left. I walked around and touched around, but I didn't have any ideas for the time being. Many people have recommended this place, saying that it is a place you definitely don't want to leave without bringing a book, but I didn't feel that way at first. I still insist on wanting to experience other people's feelings, not just one thing. The next day I came again! I plucked up the courage to use my broken communication language, with the help of translation software, to tell my boss that I wanted to buy a Dongcheng photography book published by an independent store, which recorded some very fashionable grandmothers and uncles on Dongcheng Road, their trendy and perfect looks. After some gestures, he told me that unfortunately, he didn't have any. I looked at his face and finally understood why everyone would take a book away. His guilty expression was as if he had committed an unforgivable crime against me. It was a pity that I didn't get what I wanted, but he still recommended me a photography book about Seoul, which I also liked very much. Later I took away the small book in the photo that was about the size of a piece of chewing gum. This book cost more than 8,000 Korean won, but I couldn't bear to open it. Not only is the book itself very interesting, it is also very experimental in nature. I don't think I would buy it in Taiwan, and it is not a book that Taiwanese people would publish. But it was very cute, so cute that I couldn’t put it down and it didn’t add any weight to my luggage, so I paid for it and took it back. But the real reason is that looking at his guilt, you always feel that you have to do something to appreciate his sincerity. Later he found this book for me. He found the independent bookstore Yuan Publishing House, which also had this book. So he introduced me to another bookstore that I went to yesterday but didn’t like enough to leave. It is also an independent bookstore. He really didn't mind me buying the books over there instead of asking them to send them over. It was this leisurely attitude that captured my heart. It is obvious that he hopes more people will support such an artistic environment rather than just making money for himself. I am sure that next time I go to Daegu, I will visit his bookstore again and tell him that I am very grateful for his attitude, which has created ripples for independent authors like us. Next time I will tell you about another bookstore I visited and got an author’s autograph.
