Taegu is the third largest city in South Korea and is located midway between Seoul and Pusan, just east of Togyu-san and Kaya-san National Parks. The city sits at the convergence of three major Korean highways: the Kyongbu
Expressway, the Kuma Highway, and the 88 Olympic Expressway. Most travelers spend only one night in Taegu on their way to visit one of the country's most famous and interesting temples, Haein-sa. If you want the conveniences of a city, but you want to get away from western crowds, Taegu may be the perfect place to seek employment. Population 2,000,000 Location In east-central South Korea Transportation Buses to and from Pusan go through the Express Bus Terminal. There are four
other bus stations in Taegu: the North, South, East, and West Terminals. Buses to and from Kimchon go through the North Bus Terminal. Trains only serve local locations, not major cities. Places of Interest Haein-sa Temple, Kaya-san National Park, Togyu-san National Park, and
