The Geumho River flows through North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, and drains into the Nakdong River. It rises in western Pohang, covering 116 kilometers before ending its course in western Daegu. It drains an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers. Notable tributaries include the Sincheon, which flows north through Daegu. The name Geumho-gang means "river of the zither-shaped lake," a reference to its oxbow curve in northern Daegu. Much of the river shore in Daegu has been transformed into parkland.
