Donghaksa

The meaning of Donghaksa is "East Crane Temple" is the first institution for female monks training in Korea.it was established in 724AD by monk Sangwon-josa. The temple includes many buildings in addition to prayer rooms.The surrounding area is very beautiful. Near the parking there are many restaurants and cafes.

It’s a good place to visit in the fall. So there are a lot of visitors on weekends. But it‘s a place worth visiting.

This temple is a short and easy walk on paved roads / wooden boardwalks up the hill from the ticket booth and park entrance. The temple is nice, but the views of the temple with the mountains in the background are the real draw here. There are also bathrooms, food stalls and souvenir vendors here, so whatever you're into, stopping here is recommended

This is a pretty neat temple. It's accessible by public transit. The fee to enter is pretty reasonable. There is a lot of stuff in the area as well and lots of places to have a snack or a meal, although most of the venders are pretty aggressive so that's a bit annoying. Aside from that though the actual temple area consists of a huge variety of trails going upto several hundred feet across many km so for hiking enthusiastic people it's a good spot as well if the temple itself isn't that interesting to you! Cheers

Awesome place to get away from hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquil atmosphere and beautiful view will bring you back to the calm life.

Quite nice temple which is not so far away from the city (like 50 minutes by bus from KAIST and then maybe 15 minutes walking). We came in Saturday morning and it wasn't that crowded. It was quite busy in the afternoon on our way back.

Easy and fun hike with striking views. Souvenir shops and street food venues in the area definitely add to the fun!

Nice temple to visit while exploring the national park. Easy access.
