Daegu Modern Alley Tour - Jin Alley Mido Coffee Shop, Hanok Starbucks

The Daegu Modern Alley Tour
can be compared to the atmosphere of
Seochon in Seoul or the
Choi Soon-u House tour in Seongbuk-dong.
It is a charming alley tour and
modern cultural heritage course
that can be explored within a shorter route
than in Seoul.
Inside the Yakryeongsi (Medicinal Market) Alley,
there is Jin Alley (meaning "long alley"),
a neighborhood where the Dalseong Seo clan families
and the chairman of Kolon once lived,
offering a tranquil atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Mido Coffee Shop is an old-fashioned tea house
that young people also visit
due to its popularity on social media. From the hostess
elegantly dressed in Hanbok, to the free traditional snacks,
the Ssanghwa-cha (herbal tea) with floating egg yolk,
and even the nude photographs at the entrance...
A local CEO purchased a Hanok mansion
where the Dalseong Seo clan used to live in Jin Alley,
and after sacrificing massive potential profits
to invest heavily in renovations,
they operated it as a Hanok cafe in the city center.
Starbucks then leased the space,
and it is currently operating as
the Starbucks Jongno Gotaek branch...
