Palgongsan Cable Car 팔공산케이블카
Daegu · Palgongsan & Dongchon · Fun & activities
This cable car carries you from the foot of Mount Palgong most of the way up toward a summit lookout, and on a clear day you can see out across Daegu to the south. The ride is short, and a short walk from the upper station leads to viewing platforms and a trail. Autumn weekends bring long queues, since the whole city comes for the leaves, so ride early or on a weekday.
Fares are paid on site and may change. Strong wind can close the lift. The air is cooler on top, so bring a jacket.
It suits parents and anyone who wants mountain views without hiking.
From the Dongdaegu Station area, take Express Bus 1 to the end of the line at Palgongsan and walk about five minutes. A dedicated car lot is available. (Show a driver: 팔공산케이블카)
