260 Yongyeonsa-gil, Okpo-eup, Dalseong-gun, Daegu

The name Yongyeonsa has its roots in a legend: a dragon is said to have ascended from the pond at the temple's entrance, leading to the name Yongyeon ("yong" means "dragon" and "yeon" means "pond" in Korean). This temple is renowned as one of the sites that enshrine the Buddha's sarira (relics). Inside Yongyeonsa, the ordination platform holds special significance as the resting place of the Buddha's sarira, where rituals are conducted. This symbolizes the enduring presence of the Buddha. The approach to Yongyeonsa Temple is through a forest-rich path, offering an experience akin to a forest bathing. This path also doubles as a hiking trail leading up to Biseulsan Mountain.

The shrine's entrance, marked by the Chungjeolmun Gate, is flanked by long rows of crape myrtle trees. These trees create a stunning visual spectacle when their red flowers are in bloom.
