This park was created in 2003 to commemorate the February 28 Student Democratic Uprising in 1960 on the site of Jungang Elementary School. It is a place that contains the pain of Daegu's history from the February 28 Uprising to the March 15 Uprising and the April 19 Revolution, but now it has become a peaceful and pleasant resting place in the city center. Thanks to the cool fountain and the shade created by the beautiful trees, it is established as a park that anyone can visit comfortably, regardless of age or gender. Furthermore, there are various amenities such as a walking trail, stream, and central fountain plaza, as well as many famous restaurants nearby, serving as a convenient public area to the citizens of Daegu throughout the year.

Momyeongjae is an ancestral shrine built by the Dureung Doo clan to honor Doo Sa-chung, who had joined the Ming Dynasty's reinforcement troops during the Imjinwaeran (Japanese invasion of Korea, 1592) and later became naturalized in Joseon Dynasty. The name 'Momyeongjae' means 'longing for the Ming Dynasty,' expressing Doo Sa-chung's affection for his home country.
Doo Sa-chung, who was from Duling, China, went to Joseon under the command of General Li Rusong from the Ming Dynasty. Doo Sa-chung took the position titled Suryuk Jihoek Jusa and was responsible for selecting locations to establish a stronghold in consideration of the terrain. As a senior adviser to Li Rusong, he closely discussed strategies and tactics with the Joseon army as well. 
When the war was over, Doo Sa-chung returned to China but went to Joseon again during the Jeongyujaeran (Japanese invasion of Korea, 1597). He brought his two sons -- Doo San and Doo Il-geon -- along with his brother-in-law, Admiral Chen Lin. When the war was over, Doo Sa-chung and his two sons naturalized in Joseon. The government of Joseon granted him land, which is the current Gyeongsang Gamyeong Park area.
When the Gyeongsang Gamyeong (Gyeongsang provincial office) was relocated to this area, Doo Sa-chung offered his land to the government and moved to Gyesan-dong. 
Longing for his wife and brothers he had left in China, he moved again to a village near Daedeoksan Mountain (then Choejeongsan Mountain) and named the area Daemyeong-dong (meaning the Great Ming). He built a platform and on the first day of every month, he would bow in the direction of the Forbidden City in China, where the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty resided.
Momyeongjae is built on a rectangular plot and faces south. It features a hip-and-gable roof with double-layer eaves and has four rooms in the front and two rooms on the side. The daecheongmaru (wooden floor hall) has two ondol (floor heated) rooms on each of its side, with a half-sized bay at the front. Momyeongjae exemplifies  the early 20th-century ancestral shrine style commonly found in the Daegu area. 
The building was originally constructed in 1912 when Doo Sa-chung’s descendants moved wooden materials from the dismantled Gyeongsangaeksa (local government building) and used them to build Momyeongjae in front of Doo Sa-chung's tomb. The shrine was later renovated in 1966 as it was in poor condition. 
Momyeongjae is one of the first destinations visited by Chinese tourists in Daegu. It was recently renovated as part of a redevelopment project. The Korean Traditional Culture Center opened nearby, where visitors can experience tea ceremonies, hanbok (traditional Korean clothing), archery, and cooking dishes based on Donguibogam, a traditional Korean medical encyclopedia. Joining a program at the center will be a valuable experience.
