From Seongsimdang’s alleys to the 214 m Sky Road: A walking route through Euneung-dong, Daejeon
Euneung-dong is a pedestrian area in central Daejeon where Daejong-ro 480beon-gil, home to Seongsimdang’s main branch, meets Euneungjeongi Street’s Daejeon Sky Road. An efficient itinerary takes in Seongsimdang, the underground shopping arcade, and the alleys during the day, then follows the 214 m LED arcade after sunset.

Jungang-ro 480beon-gil 15: The Route Beginning in Euneungjeongi-dong
Euneungjeongi-dong is not a single-entry attraction but a commercial and pedestrian district in Daejeon's old downtown. A useful reference address is 15 Daejong-ro 480beon-gil, Jung-gu, Daejeon, where the main branch of Seongsimdang is located. From here, walking toward Euneungjeongi Street and Skyroad connects dining, bread shopping, and nighttime media art within one area.
If this is your first visit, it is best to explore the Seongsimdang main branch and the alleys during the day, then return to Euneungjeongi Street in time for Skyroad's lights. Skyroad operates from 18:00 to 22:00 in winter and from 19:00 to 23:00 in summer, so visitors who come only in the middle of the day cannot see Euneungjeongi-dong's signature overhead LED screen.
Seongsimdang Main Branch, Beginning at a Tent Shop under Mokcheokgyo Bridge in 1956
Seongsimdang began as a tent shop selling steamed buns under Mokcheokgyo Bridge in 1956. Daejeon City explains that the shop grew into the bakery representing Daejeon today and lists its main-branch address as 15 Daejong-ro 480beon-gil, Jung-gu, Daejeon. This is why Euneungjeongi-dong can be viewed not simply as a shopping area, but as a place preserving memories of the old downtown community around the railway station, market, and Daejeoncheon Stream.
The Seongsimdang main branch is listed as open daily from 08:00 to 22:00, with the telephone number 1588-8069. Its signature items include fried soboro bread, Pantalong chive bread, and pollock-roe baguettes. Daejeon City states that more than 80 million fried soboro breads have been sold since their launch in 1980. Visitors are informed that purchased bread can be eaten at the chicken restaurant on the second-floor terrace of the main branch or at the Seongsimdang Cultural Center in the alley across the street.
The 214-Meter LED Arcade on Euneungjeongi Street, Activated on September 6, 2013
The facility that defines Euneungjeongi-dong's nighttime scenery is Daejeon Skyroad. Daejeon City announced that it began full operation on September 6, 2013. The facility is an LED video-screen arcade installed on Euneungjeongi Street, measuring 214 meters long, 13.3 meters wide, and 20 meters high. Its stated purposes are revitalizing the old downtown and stimulating the local economy.
According to the current official information, Skyroad operates from 19:00 to 23:00 in summer and from 18:00 to 22:00 in winter, with free admission. The main telephone number is 042-330-3925, and the address is 164 Jungang-ro, Jung-gu, Daejeon (48-14 Euneungjeongi-dong). As screening content and special exhibitions may vary according to announcements, it is safest to check the notices on the official website on the day of your visit.
Two Minutes from Exits 4 and 5 of Jungangno Station, and 16 Minutes from Daejeon Station
By public transportation, the simplest option is to use Jungangno Station on Daejeon Subway Line 1. Walk straight from Exit 4 or Exit 5 of Jungangno Station for approximately two minutes. Buses 314, 603, 614, and 620 can be used to get off at Jungbu Police Station bus stop; buses 101, 103, 511, 613, and 615 stop at the Jungangno Station Exit 4 bus stop; and buses 201, 202, 317, Rapid 1, and 701 use the Jungangno Station Exit 4 stop.
Some sources indicate that walking from Daejeon Station to the Jungangno Station area takes approximately 16 minutes. Rather than driving into the pedestrian-centered alleys, it is more practical to use a nearby paid public or private parking lot separately, as dedicated free parking in Euneungjeongi-dong itself is difficult to expect. If you combine bread shopping with nighttime viewing, it is best to allow at least two to three hours.
A Two- to Three-Hour Itinerary Built Around 19:00 in Summer and 18:00 in Winter
In summer, a natural plan is to finish your Seongsimdang or Euneungjeongi-dong alley itinerary before 19:00, then move beneath Skyroad from 19:00 onward. Since it operates from 18:00 in winter, you can also view the LED screen before dinner and finish with a meal. Because Skyroad is a section where you walk while looking upward, be mindful of your distance from other pedestrians when watching the screen for an extended period.
Euneungjeongi-dong is less a destination where visitors buy an admission ticket and stay at one facility for a long time than an old downtown street that serves different roles depending on the time of day. The key is to make use of Seongsimdang's 08:00–22:00 business hours during the day and match your visit at night to Skyroad's free operating hours. Since it is difficult to confirm official standards that present the entire Euneungjeongi-dong area as a single facility for detailed accessibility services such as wheelchair and stroller use or foreign-language assistance, it is advisable to contact individual shops and facilities in advance.
To Secure Eight Photos, Examine the Original Context of Official Posts, Not Just Euneungjeongi-dong
The official Jung-gu Culture and Tourism page introducing Euneungjeongi-dong presents it together with the Seonhwa-dong café street, Euneungjeongi-dong Underground Shopping Center, Daeheung-dong Slow Postbox, Mokcheokgyo Bridge, and Seongsimdang. Therefore, rather than visiting only Seongsimdang and leaving, expanding your walking radius toward Jungang-ro, Euneungjeongi Street, and Daejeoncheon Stream will help you better understand the role Euneungjeongi-dong plays in the old downtown.
However, the reference points in this article—the Seongsimdang main branch and Daejeon Skyroad—are operated by different organizations. Seongsimdang inquiries should be directed to 1588-8069, while Skyroad inquiries should be directed to 042-330-3925. The official Skyroad website is https://djskyroad.kr/index. No video link was included because the video-search tool could not return results after exceeding its query limit.
