Yuseong District (Yuseong-gu) is a gu ("district") of Daejeon, South Korea, known for high tech industries, Daejeon Expo '93, Daedeok Science Town and the Yuseong Special Tourism District. Daejeon Islamic Center is also located in Kung-dong, Yuseong-gu. The Science Town is the core of the International Science and Business Belt.
Yuseong first started its spa business in 1913, and by the 1970s, major developments were made, adding 12 more hotels to the area, leading this area to be designated first as the Special Spa District in 1981 and finally as the Yuseong Special Tourism District by August 31, 1994.[1]
Since the time of the Baekje Kingdom, travellers have visited Yuseong's natural springs and spas. This ultimately resulted in the creation of the Yuseong Special Tourism District. The majority of the hotels in Daejeon are situated in this area, and it is one of the commercial centers of Daejeon Metropolitan City. Some important sight seeing places are the Daejeon National Cemetery, Geological Museum, Currency Museum of Korea, Natural History Museum, Daejeon Prehistory Museum, Asia Museum, Yeojin Gallery, and Daejeon Museum of Art. Science-oriented attractions include National Science Museum, Daejeon Space Observatory, Daedeok Science Town, and Daejeon Institute of Education & Science.
Parks include Expo Science Park and Kumdori Land. Cultural centers include Mokwon University Daedeok Science Culture Center, Jeongsimhwa International Culture Center, Expo Art Hall, Suwungyo Cheondan, Ahnsansanseong (Fortress), Jimjam Confucian School, and Ssunghyeon Ancient Lecture Hall.
Daejeon Shinsegae Art & Science, a large complex shopping center, opened in 2021. It is located in Doryong-dong.
Plans have been made to renovate and develop the areas to attract more tourists. The major project that is currently proposed and evaluated is the Yuseong Leisure Town. Water theme parks, spa resorts, public golf course, and various other attractions will be constructed.[2]
Daedeok Science Park in Yuseong-gu is Korea's top research area, hosting multiple public and private research groups and organizations. Government funded research groups include the following.
