You can tour the quiet tourist spots of Gunwi-gun, which was incorporated into Daegu in July 2023.

• Gunwi Samjon Seokgul Cave
  It was founded by Geukdal Hwasang in the 15th year of King Soji of Silla (493). The stone cave is located 20m above the ground, the cave entrance is 4.25m high, the cave depth is 4.3m, the floor is flat, and the shape is square. The ceiling is highest in the center and gradually lowers around the sky, giving it the shape of the sky.
  Inside the stone cave, there is the main Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, and on the left and right are the Great Compassion Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The main Buddha is shown with his head shaved and his face is plump, large, and solemn.
  Both ears are long, the neck is stretched out in a straight line, and the shoulders covered with the robe have a delicate and elegant appearance that makes it seem as if white flesh is visible.
  His shoulders were broad and he had a large physique, and his robe, with its simple yet elegant pattern, was wide and covered the entire front of the seat.
  Silla Buddhism, which was transmitted from Goguryeo, blossomed at the foot of Mt. Palgongsan and was transmitted to Gyeongju, the capital of Silla, where it bore fruit.
  The mountain range extending from Palgongsan Birobong Peak forms a huge rocky cliff here, and at the waist of this cliff, 20m high, a round natural cave facing south enshrines the three Buddha statues, which are called Seomjonseokgul Cave.
  During the persecution period before Buddhism was officially recognized by Silla (King Beopheung), it was a place where people practiced Buddhism in secret, and it became the origin of the Seokguram Grotto in Tohamsan, Gyeongju, built in the mid-8th century.

• Cardinal Kim Soo-hwan Love and Sharing Park
  This is a space where you can look back on the life of Cardinal Kim Soo-hwan, who was born in 1922 as the son of a potter.
  This is a restored house where Cardinal Kim Soo-hwan lived with his family as a child. The appearance of the old house with three thatched rooms has a narrow porch and low eaves, giving it a rustic feel that adds to the sentimentality.
  Although he is the first cardinal of Korea and a historical figure respected by many regardless of religion, he shows that he was born and raised in a small thatched house during his childhood.
  At the entrance, there is a pottery kiln site and it is connected to the Park of Love and Sharing, which has the Forest of Peace and the Way of the Cross.
  The memorial hall, which is connected to the cardinal's life and spirit, is a meaningful space where you can look back on the cardinal's life and spirit, and you can also see the history of the cardinal's life, including his sculptures and his priestly attire.
