Donggosa Temple (Jeonju)

Donggosa is a temple of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order located on Seungamsan Mountain in Jeonju. As you climb along the Seungamsan hiking trail, the clear air opens up your chest, and upon reaching the temple, the city of Jeonju unfolds below at a glance. Especially at sunset, the red sunset and splendid night view spread out like a picture.
The buildings of Donggosa are arranged in a line centered on the Daeungjeon Hall, as if a bird were spreading its wings wide. This is because the buildings were erected one by one following the bends of the mountain without going against nature. Centered on the Daeungjeon Hall are the Yeombulsil and Simudang, and on the outskirts are the Samseonggak and Jonggak, forming a shape as if lotus petals were blooming one by one. It is a temple harmoniously blended with the mountain landscape on the mid-slope of Seungamsan, said to resemble a monk's head.
