The ARC Daegu
디아크
A water-drop-shaped culture center where the Nakdong and Geumho rivers meet, with the Gangjeong Goryeong Weir promenade beside it; a sunset spot in Daegu.
The ARC (D’ARC) is located on the banks of the Nakdong River in Dosa-eup, Dalseong County. Built in 2012 beside the Gangjeong Goryeong Weir as part of the Four Major Rivers restoration project, it is a water culture center whose design, by Asymptote, is inspired by pebbles skipping across the water and water droplets. Its lighting changes beautifully at night. Inside is an exhibition about rivers, and the top-floor observation deck overlooks the water. Nearby are a riverside park, bike paths and cafés, and watching the sunset over the Nakdong River in the evening is a favorite date spot for young Daegu residents. Admission is free. Getting there: transfer at Gangchang Station on Subway Line 2 and take a bus for about 20 minutes, or drive about 30 minutes.
Opening hours
Cultural center approx. 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, closed Mondays; outdoor areas open all day
