Yangnyeongsi has been the country’s leading medicinal herb market since the Chosun Dynasty(1392-1910) and is an important Korean cultural heritage in Daegu City, which used to be a major foothold in herb distribution in international market. The market opened first within Gyeongsang-gamyeong (Governor's office of the Gyeongsang Province) in 1658 (9th year of King Hyojong’s reign) and had enjoyed phenomenal growth before it was forcibly shut down by the Japanese imperialists. After the liberation from Japan’s colonial rule, the traditional market has been restored thanks to constant efforts of herbal medicine pharmacists and finally developed to Yangnyeongsi of today. At present, Yangnyeongsi stretches along a 715m long street in Namseongro, Dongseungro 3 ga, Gyesan 1ㆍ2 ga, Sudong, Jongro 2 ga, Janggwandong, and part of Sangseodong. It is home to many medicine shops and clinics.
