9. Donghwasa
Established in 493 CE
Legend has it that while Donghwasa Temple was being rebuilt during winter, the foxglove trees blossomed, hence the name, “temple where the foxglove flowers blossom.” The temple features a huge Healing Buddha statue dedicated to the unification of North and South Korea. It is also renowned for its transmission of religious traditions and its annual Temple Anniversary Festival. The temple conducts regular ceremonies on nearby Mt. Palgongsan to console the spirits of those killed during the Korean War.
