Donghwasa, Buddhist temple on Mount Palgongsan, Daegu, South Korea
Donghwasa extends across the southern slopes of Mount Palgongsan, featuring multiple halls, pagodas, and a 17-meter-tall Medicine Buddha statue constructed in 1992.
Founded in 493 as Yugasa Temple during the Silla Kingdom, the complex received its current name in 832 when Master Simji noticed paulownia trees flowering in winter.
The temple functions as the ninth parish of Korean Buddhism Jogye Order and maintains numerous national treasures, including the three-story Geumdangam stone tower.
The temple offers regular meditation programs, traditional food experiences, and overnight stays with reservations available through their official communication channels.
The temple grounds contain fourteen state-designated cultural objects and maintain a weekly market tradition dating back to the Goryeo Dynasty period.
