Daegu–Gyeongbuk

Daegu-Gyeongbuk or Taegu-Kyŏngbuk (대구경북, 大邱慶北) is the compound word of Daegu and Gyeongbuk (formally Gyeongsangbuk-do), and indicates both administrative regions in South Korea.

Daegu is an independent city from Gyeongsangbuk-do and has the same administrative status with its mother province.

With Gyeongju as the capital, it first unified the Korean Peninsula and prospered for about thousand years.

It left a number of remains around the city, which are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

After more than four hundred years at Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do's provincial office moved to Andong in 2016.
