    This is a place where you can see the entire view of Daegu at a glance. This observatory has a particularly beautiful night view. Is the slope too high? It's a little difficult, but you can climb up if you take breaks. The scenery was so good and beautiful that I forgot all the difficult moments on the way up.

    Actually this is a destination. Very high and has a good view. You can whole Daegu city there. It is not the summit. You have to climb up about 1km more from there. Weekends there are many visitors. If you like hiking, you don't need to take a cable car(funicular). You can see the city surrounded by mountains. Very good.

    (Translated by Google) One of the best places in Daegu for the night view Although there is a cable car I like it as a short hiking course You can exercise and enjoy the night view at the same time For a date course or an exercise course Where I can recommend everyone However, the slope to Anilsa is quite It can be difficult the first time you go (Original) 대구에서 야경으로 최고인 곳 중 하나 케이블카가 있긴 하지만 짧은 등산코스로 좋아서 운동과 야경 감상을 동시에 할 수 있다 데이트 코스나 운동코스로 모두 추천할 수 있는 곳 다만 안일사까지의 경사도가 꽤 있어서 처음 갔을 때는 힘들 수 있다

    A pity that the observatory viewpoint itself is currently closed (a sign in Korean indicates that its closed until 31 October) Fortunately, the nearby Sopra Observatory is still open, so the trip up here wasn't completely wasted lol

    Did you go to Daegu? A place worth visiting at least once. Park in the parking lot and walk uphill for about 10 minutes to reach the cable car station. Interval 20~30 minutes My heart bursts open

  • 5/5 Garrett M. 5 years ago on Google • 127 reviews
    I would always see the observatory light on the mountain on when I would walk by but never knew that the cable car was operational until 930PM. This makes it great for photographers and couples to go and see the sunset and the city lights from a high place. Beware though that between the times of sunset and closing it becomes very crowed with people up there trying to take family photos and selfies. Do if you want to secure your spot and get the best vantage point for your photo, just be patient and a spot will open up once people are done taking their picture. The lighting system for the walking path, isn't the greatest up there and bringing a flashlight is recommended if you plan to stay until the sunsets and you can view the city lights. The path is narrow going to and from the cable car so be careful while hiking to and from the observatory. I did go on a slightly muggy day so some of my pictures didn't come out so good. I recommend a slightly breezy day so there are no clouds and it also makes the trip less hot when you are up there trying to get the best picture. All together its a great place to start or end a date by watching the sunset together. I highly recommend this place.

    Only around 200m from the cable car and the trail road is very easy. You can see the whole Daegu from here, and the view is worth it.

  • 5/5 Joan H. 1 month ago on Google • 121 reviews New
    Good place to watch the scenery

  • 5/5 A. 1 year ago on Google • 106 reviews
    A wonderful view of Daegu from above. You can hike up here by multiple paths (takes around 2 hours) or take the cable car. Cable car costs round trip 12.000 won per person. Be aware: there's no toilet there, so make sure you use the one before you drive up. They also installed a camera booth where you can make a selfie with the installed sculpture (a rabbit at December 2022) and have it sent to your mail. Worth it. Next time will hike it.

    The best observatory to see a magnificent view of Daegu city. Definitely a breath taking spot as it is located at the top of Apsan mountain. The paranomic with many mountains and cityscape is the best view from my South Korea trip. Best time to enjoy the view might be sunset time so you can experience both day and night time.

  • 5/5 Ngoc Anh Crystal L. 2 years ago on Google • 54 reviews
    What a great spot where we can at the same time admire panorama view of of the autumn foliage and Daegu city. Here there is also a small coffee shop for you to chill.

  • 5/5 Joshua Boulton (. 1 year ago on Google
    Recommend getting the cable car up. Excellent views of the city. Good walking trails and the outdoor gyms nearby are really cool.

    An absolutely breathtaking view! Very foreigner friendly. Even in the middle of June the breeze is cool and refreshing. There is a restaurant, bathrooms, places to picnic or set up a tent. Kid friendly too!

  • 5/5 Kathleen B. 10 months ago on Google
    Very pretty, worth the hike up!!!

  • 5/5 Ashani M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent local attraction in Daegu for everyone to visit, especially if you are an outdoors type of person. It has trails that are easy to follow but a bit of challenge. There are many places to stop along while making your way to the top that has seats and workout equipment. The view at the top is amazing and worth the hike going up. If you don't feel like hiking, there is a cable car to take you to the top. Great place to go with friends and see a beautiful view.

  • 4/5 Angie 4 years ago on Google
    It has a great and convenient rides going up. Many old men and women are going there, too. Few tourist. If you’d like to capture a city view this is a great spot to visit.

  • 4/5 창Becky 1 year ago on Google
    Can't rate more because it is actually under construction right now but hiked a lot in Apsan mountain and took the cable car and it was awesome

  • 5/5 vent g. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing place to visit. Ability to hike, ride the cable car, visit the temple and a beautiful view of Daegu and the area.

  • 4/5 Omer S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice view of the city. The observatory was closed when we arrived so it was disappointing… it costs 12,000 won to take the cable to the peak

  • 5/5 Brenda B. 6 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I visited the Apsan observatory twice, one in daily light and the most recent visit at night. It was very beautiful and very easy to get there. I took the cable car and it was very convenient. The night view was really beautiful and worth going there. Besides, it is also part of episode 14 of the Korean drama "what is wrong with secretary Kim?".

  • 5/5 michael h. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Claire T. 11 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Skye V. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Magnificent views from the top of the observatory. Nice park to stroll around and enjoy the day or evening. Calming waterfall and guides to tell you the story of the bridge. It’s about 2 lovers and it’s so romantic. Best place to catch a sunset!

  • 4/5 won-jin C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 papier 1 year ago on Google
    quite a nice resting spot with a nice panoramic view of the whole of Daegu. There's also a sculpture rabbit in the centre for some reason

  • 5/5 Walter M. 11 months ago on Google
    Awesome view. If your strength is not enough, then just climb up to Observatory. There’s a real top of the mountain in the above. But it’s wonderful enough to enjoy view.

  • 5/5 Leah L. 4 years ago on Google
    The sky was clear at night so I could observe a marvelous night view. There is a parking lots, we drove to the observatory. Was bit chilly so we got hot coffee before we get up there. Wish they play calm music in the cable car instead of hiphopish random style. Personally I would love to hear some info about this place while we get there, like height, when it was built, the way we are looking at is which side and stuff. There is bit of walk from cable station to actual observatory place. Be aware, it's dark at night. I personally prefer views from Apsan observatory than Daegu tower (restaurants). It would look beautiful in the winter when it snows.

  • 5/5 Allen C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great spot to get a wonderful view of Daegu city. Take the cable car if you need to, otherwise, I suggest taking the time to hike up to the observatory.

  • 5/5 Hanil K. 4 years ago on Google
    Perfect place for look down at entire city of Daegu. Cable car's available, 10k won for round trip, and the last car for going back down is at 9:00 pm. You can also climb and it takes about 40 min. Tracking is really fine even in night times because Led lights are all along the way of it.

  • 5/5 도토리우유 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The night view is very good. It is at night when the normal arrival time is 30-40 minutes longer than the sunset time. It is the time when the sunset begins to set, so if you want to see the night view, plan well in time. It was cold because it was winter. Warm water is also good. It is good to prepare gloves and hats to withstand the cold wind at the observation deck. (Original) 야경이 아주 좋습니다. 정상 도착시간을 일몰시간보다 30~40분은 더 지나야 밤입니다. 일몰을 해가 지기 시작하는시간이라서 야경보실분들은 시간 잘 맞춰서 계획 짜세요~ 저는 겨울이라 추웠어요. 따뜻한 물도 좋구요. 전망대에서 찬바람에 견딜 장갑이랑 모자준비하시면 좋습니다.
