No matter how much the civilization of the world has changed, the harmonized lines of the roof tiles of Donghwasa Temple and the lines of Palgong Mountain are still beautiful enough to take your breath away. Even a casual stroll in and around the temple will leave you feeling refreshed. But there's a thing you must be careful of. Do not visit Donghwasa Temple in October and November, when autumn is in full swing. You might have a feeling of being in heaven which can cause your mind to disembodied.

I am writing this review for the Palgonsan Mountain. Place is nice and calm and cool.There is Standing Buddha temple. Large statue of Standing Buddha with museum and garden.

This place is very nice and super-sceneric. There are several statues of Lord Buddha with a big one. Temple stay is also possible. During October, some working was going on, in the temple stay building. You can go there or by bus. By taxi, it takes about 40 minutes from EXCO,Daegu and by bus, it takes about 50 minutes to 1 hr. Please find the photo here,showing bus routes from the temple bus stop.

A great temple within the palgongsan mountain ranges. Be prepared to walk as there is a lot of slopes. I would recommend booking transportation to and fro from the temple. Taxis can be a huge challenge to book.

Buddhism temple with highlight attractions, main hall with 3 main buddhist statues . At the entrance of main hall is phoenix bird sculpture with 3 bird eegs which prayers and worshippers to make their wishes come true. In the vicinity , it’s shady with pine trees and changing foliages . There is a big prayer hall with the huge stone amittabudhha statue at the back . There are also lodges for temple stay.

A divine experience... Going well with scenic autumn vibe

It's smaller temple compare to Haeinsa Temple. Do not waste your time in here but its nice to visit

This is a very beautiful temple in a spectacular setting. The giant Buddha is amazing and set off against the lush green trees. When the sky is bright blue the whole setting is gorgeous. The very short walk to the Buddha with the stream and waterfall is very relaxing.

While chasing the dying, everywhere lacks energy; everything is muddled; everyone is confused. Especially me, all senses are closed here. I wouldn't meditate. Why did I come for this?

The largest temple in palgong mountain팔공산 in Deagu city. Beautiful and easy access by walking from the gate. Lots of group visitors.

Love it from the begging to the end! One of the peaceful places I ever been. Forest, temple, status, lantern, cascade~ evrrything! I enjoyed so much! Prepare your camera and a confy shoes, you will enjoy the architecture and the nature at the same time!

This is located in the North part of South Korea, it is one of the famous temples over there located in the mountain. Around 1hr of trekking is required to reach the base.

Old temple (>1500years) with beautiful walk way especially in autumn. A 17-meters tall Budha called Seokjoyaksa yeoraebul to prey for Korea re-union.

You can see some amazing Buddist statues that is the super big hard to see in your country

It's a really nice place to visit, but it's also really touristy. If you are looking for a quiet Temple visit, this is not the place. But there are some far away temples in this complex where you can find that vibe.

Buddhist temple was built in 493, very beautiful place

Nice temple. Big garden. Prepare good walking shoe.

I went there 17th of August ‘22. Bus 1 dropped me off at the main centre point. From there, it's about a 15 min walk. There is a tunnel you have to go through, but there is someone there where you have to buy tickets from (3000kw) for one access. It was there at 8 am, so it was quiet. People are already praying. When you turn right, you have to walk for just 5 min, and then you find the giant Buddha statue. One thing I love about Korea is not only at this place - clean toilets everywhere, more hygienic than my hostel 😂 and you can pay with your card if you want to buy a souvenir. Worth it. It takes approx. ~ 1.5 hours, so you can combine it with the cable cart.
