Why go

Palgongsan National Park (Pagyesa Temple District) is a Korean national-park section centered on Pagyesa Temple, founded in 804 CE during the Unified Silla period. The temple has traditional Korean Buddhist architecture, prayer halls, and is set in a forested mountain valley. For travelers serious about Korean Buddhism beyond Donghwasa and willing to engage with a quieter Palgongsan section, Pagyesa is one of the cleaner specialty single picks.
