Duryu is a dong (neighborhood) in Dalseo District, Daegu, South Korea. It is the site of Duryu Park and Woobang Tower Land, a popular Daegu amusement park. Although legally a single dong, Duryu-dong is divided into three administrative dong: Duryu-1-, -2-, and -3-dong. Together, the three administrative dong cover 2.44 km. They were home to 34,280 people as of October 31, 2005.
The region's name comes from Duryu-san, the hill on which Daegu Woobang Tower is situated. It is a hanja transcription of a dialect term meaning "round", referring to the hill's rounded shape.
Daegu Subway Line 2 passes through Duryu-dong, as does the Dalgubeol Expressway. A large number of clinics and hospitals are located in the area.
