Taebaek Coal Museum

Held every January in Taebaeksan National Park and downtown. Features large snow sculptures, sledding, night illuminations, and local food stalls. The festival attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to see the majestic white landscape of the city.

The most iconic activity in Taebaek. The trail from Yuilsa to the summit (Cheonjedan) is relatively gentle and takes about 3–4 hours round trip. It is world-famous for its "frost flowers" (rime ice) on the yew trees during winter.

The city’s crown jewel. The 1,567-m Taebaeksan is sacred in Korean mythology and offers sweeping views, ancient Yew forests, and the famous Cheonjedan altar at the summit. Popular in winter for snow-covered landscapes.

During the winter, O2 Resort operates one of the longest sledding slopes in the region. It is a popular family activity for those who find skiing too difficult but still want to enjoy the snow.

A world-class safety-themed experience park. It features 4D simulations of natural disasters (earthquakes, wildfires, floods), a hero experience center, and outdoor activities like ziplining and cable cars. Most of the entrance fee is returned as a local voucher to spend within the city.

Located in the city center, this pond is the legendary source of the 510-km-long Nakdong River. About 5,000 tons of water gush out daily from this spring, which is surrounded by a small public park.
