Cheongna Hill, a quiet spot in downtown Daegu, got its name from the many houses covered in green ivy where American missionaries settled in the early 20th century. This place was the center of Christian propagation, modern medicine, and education, and exotic buildings reflecting the wisdom of the missionaries are well preserved here. In particular, Switzer’s House, Chamness’ House, and Blair’s House are used as missionary, medical, and educational history museums, vividly showing the life and history of the time.
It is a place with deep historical meaning, such as the 90-step stairs that served as the background for the song 'Dongmu Saenggak' and the secret passage of the March 1st Movement. It also boasts beautiful scenery, making it a popular filming location for dramas and music videos. The descendant tree of Daegu's first apple tree can also be found here.
