 Although
Daegu
is
Korea's
3rd
largest
city,
much
of
it
still
retains
a
countryside
feel.
The
views
of
Palgong-san
to
the
north
and
Ap-san
to
the
south
are
hidden
by
smog
less
often
than
the
mountains
encircling
Seoul.
The
area
is a
major
textile
center
for
Korea,
producing
vast
amounts
of
cloth
and
clothing.
It
also
serves
as a
major
hub
for
metal
and
machine
industries,
with
several
manufacturing
plants
from
the
nation's
largest
conglomerates.
Agriculturally,
the
area
has
much
farmland
and
is
especially
known
for
its
apples
(resulting
from
grafting
American
apple
tress
to
local
crab
apple
trees
by
Presbyterian
missionaries
in
the
early
20th
century). |
