==Hitching Hitchhiking out==

 It's easy! Just take the red subway line (there is are only two in Daegu) to the Yonggye station on the east part of the city. Leave the station on at exit 2 and turn rightleft. After about 300 meters you will see the highway with the big Dongdaegu (east Daegu) intercection intersection and the tall toll gate. Just walk pass past the gate and there is plenty of place space to take put your thumb out. (You have to walk along the road, which can be dangerous. But a alternative route on the west side of the tollgate exists. Just check kakao map.) Don't forget to make the sight a sign in hageulhangeul, because the highway close by here splits in two close to twohere: highway nr.1 going via [[Gyeongju]], [[Ulsan]] to [[Busan]]) and the nr.55 one directly to [[Busan]].<!-- GOOD LUCK Update 05.28.2017: The staff at the tollgate asked me to leave. But this could have been a random thing.  Update summer 2018. After reading the comment above that the staff kicked the previous hitchhiker, I still wanted to try this spot to go to Gyeongju. I walked to the tollgate and immediately the staff came out and angrily told me to get off, that I could not hitchhike there etc. I tried arguing politely with them to let me stay there and that I could quickly catch a ride (the spot was perfect) but they threatened to call the cops on me and were very aggressive and angry because I was resisting their BS (every other tollgate in Korea let me hitchhike and even helped me). They said it was because the station was part of the highway. I eventually had to leave and took a bus instead, it was the only instance in Korea where I could not hitchhike out of a city. Here is my advice for you if you need to hitchhike east from there: '''instead of walking all the way to the tollgate, stand on the side of the road leading to it and make yourself very visible. High chance that a car will stop to pick you up''' and the danger is limited because they don't drive very fast since they need to stop at the toll. The tollgate staff likely won't notice you because it is far from the tollgate itself. My experience :On 02/024, I attempted hitchhiking at this location. After waiting for an hour and a half as darkness approached, I decided to try again the next morning. This time, with a clear sign that read in Hangul "Please, bring me to Busan," I found success within three minutes by standing between the two roads leading to the tollgate near the traffic light. == Wild camping ==You can go to the park 팔현생태공원 (go to Daemeong church, climb up the small hill, walk for two hundred meeters west and cross the bridge you see) -->. There you can find many places to pitch your tent. It’s also very close to the highway, easy to hitchhike when you get up.== Trashwiki & Nomadwiki == [[trash:Daegu]] [[nomad:Daegu]]
