Palsangjeon, Buddhist temple at Songnisan National Park, South Korea

The Palsangjeon wooden pagoda stands 22.7 meters tall on a stone platform with entrances facing all four cardinal directions at Beopjusa Temple.

The original structure dates from 553, but after destruction during the Seven Year War, workers reconstructed Palsangjeon in 1605 maintaining its design.

The Hall of Eight Pictures contains murals depicting eight major events of Buddha Sakyamuni's life, from birth through enlightenment to entering Nirvana.

The temple receives visitors who arrive via train to Daejeon KTX station, followed by an intercity bus connection to Songnisan National Park.

Palsangjeon remains one of only two wooden pagodas in South Korea and houses four Sakyamuni Buddha statues along with 500 small white figures.
