Seomun Market opened in its current location in the 1920s after reclaiming the Cheonhwangdangji Reservoir, but it has a much longer history. In the Joseon dynasty, Seomun Market was one of three major markets in the nation. It was called Seomun Market because it was located on the west side of the Daegu Fortress. Despite relocating, the alleyways of the original market still feature names of the items available there, such as Hongdukkae Pancake and Chicken Pancake Alley. Textile-related goods are the main products available now, but they also offer a little bit of everything else, including silk goods, dry goods, undershirts, crafts, dishes, clothes, and dried seafood.

Daegu Medicinal Herb Wholesale Market, also known as Daegu Yangnyeongsi, is a major herbal medicine market specializing in the practices of Oriental medicine. The market dates all the way back to the Joseon dynasty, when the governor of Gyeongsang-do at that time supplied the best medicinal herbs to the central administrative office and sold the rest to the commoners. Among the many cities that served as suppliers of herbal medicine, Daegu survived as the longest and remained the most active. Until 1910, Daegu was at the center of the herbal medicine world, providing Oriental medicine to travelers from all around the world including Japan, China, Russia, Manchuria and many other countries. Even to this day, Daegu Yangnyeongsi continues to supply herbal medicine across the country and preserve the traditional medicine culture that has been passed down for over 350 years.

Daegu Korean Chinese Association building is a red brick two-story Western-style house built in 1929. Seo Byeong-guk, a rich man in Daegu, entrusted the design and construction to Mo Mungeum, a Chinese architect. It is a flat rectangular structure, and the protruding granite porch balances left and right symmetry. There is a theory that the bricks were brought from Pyeongyang and the woods from Geumgangsan Mountain. It was also used as an HID (Headquarters of Intelligence Detachment) building. There is one building, a playground, a statue of Chiang Kai-shek, and a mural of a Chinese figure painted at the entrance. It is a representative modern building in the Daegu area that boasts a beautiful appearance and is currently used as the office of the Daegu Korean Chinese Association. It was designated as a National Registered Cultural Heritage on June 19, 2006, as it shows the style of modern architecture in the 1930s, not many examples of which are left. This is the last stop of Daegu Modern Alley Tour Course 2.

The street was originally a creek lined with houses, but in 1953 the creek was covered over and made into a paved road. Gas stations and stores selling automotive parts sprung up, turning the area into a thriving commercial district. In 1961, the first motorcycle store opened its doors and was quickly followed by several more.

Currently there are 40 motorcycle stores, making this 200-meter-long street one of Daegu’s most unique shopping areas. Shoppers can find a vast array of new and secondhand motorcycles both domestic and imported, as well as a wide selection of motorcycle parts and accessories.
