Nakdonggang River is a winding river that is filled with great strength to protect the people, representing the wisdom and deep meaning for the country's reunification. Thanks to its geographical advantage, it provided a good distance of ceasefire line between Korean soldiers and their enemies during the Korean War, reducing casualties.

Opened on June 25, 1979, Nakdong Victory Memorial Hall was built in memory of the victory at the Nakdonggang defense line which was the last fortification to protect the country during the Korean War. The memorial hall was built with private donations from the residents of Daegu and Gyeongbuk province. In particular, postwar generations, especially the young generation people who did not experience the Korean War, can learn about the history from here.
