Among the many cities that served as suppliers of herbal medicine, Daegu survived as the longest and remained the most active. Until 1910, Daegu was at the center of the herbal medicine world, providing Oriental medicine to travelers from all around the world including Japan, China, Russia, Manchuria and many other countries. Even to this day, Daegu Yangnyeongsi continues to supply herbal medicine across the country and preserve the traditional medicine culture that has been passed down for over 350 years.

Once a derelict space and an eyesore, this facility was reborn as an art and cultural space. The building preserves its 50-year history with its old facade and houses an area dedicated to young artists in its interior, thus reborn as a space where the old coexist with the new. Suchang Youth Mansion, named so as a retro-style throwback to the old days when such English loanwords were not as common as today, opened its doors in December 2017. Today, it functions as a space for Daegu’s young artists. The first floor of Building A houses a cafe, while the second floor houses the art and cultural space, in which visitors can get a glimpse into Daegu’s unique identity through works of art, including those created by young artists of the region.
