The emblem of the City of Daegu has been used since October 1996. The triangles in the city emblem symbolize Mt. Palgongsan surrounding Daegu and the arch expresses the Nakdonggang River flowing through the city. The emblem was designed in order to present the future-oriented spirit and international mind of the City of Daegu.

Designated on July 1, 1983, the city bird Eagle represents the active and progressive spirit of Daegu citizens. Designated on July 18, 1972, the city tree Fir represents strength, eternity, and integrity, while Magnolia as the city flower manifests simplicity, purity, and sacrifice.

The Korean Peninsula is located in North-East Asia. It is bordered by the Amnok River (Yalu River) to the northwest, separating Korea from China, and the Duman River (Tumen River) to the northeast which separates Korea from both China and Russia. The country itself is flanked by the Yellow Sea to its west and the East Sea to the east. There are several notable islands that surround the country including Jeju-do, Ulleung-do and Dok-do (Liancourt Rocks).

The Korean peninsula is roughly 1,030 km (612 miles) long and 175 km (105 miles) wide at its narrowest point. The land area is 99,200 sq km (38,301 square miles), and it has a population of 48.9 million people (2006). Because of its unique geographical location, Korea is a very viable piece of land and an international hub of Asia.
