    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Use the published visitor window

      Current tourism data lists this daily span and no regular closure. Ceremonies, conservation and temporary access notices can still change individual halls.

    2. 02
      Start with the 927 Battle of Gongsan context

      The memorial explains General Shin Sung-gyeom's sacrifice while protecting Goryeo founder Wang Geon. Use interpretation rather than treating the grounds as a generic hanok park.

    3. 03
      Confirm interpreter availability

      Daegu lists cultural-tourism interpreters at the site, but staffing, language, group size and start time require a live check.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Read the short battle context before arrival; the meaning of the gate, memorial and horse sculptures is otherwise easy to miss.
    • Keep voices low and avoid playful posing at memorial or ceremonial structures.
    • Ask before using a tripod, drone or close photography during a ceremony, guided group or conservation activity.
    • Search “대구 신숭겸장군유적” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
