Above is a map of Palgongsan park,
22 kilometers north of Daegu. It contains many historical sites.
On the map, the reverse swastikas indicate Buddhist hermitages. Dark
lines are roads and dotted lines indicate trails. The bar near the center
is a cable car that runs up the mountain. Black triangles indicate mountain
peaks.
Daegu is South Korea's largest inland city. Its history extends back to the Silla era, when the royal court briefly considered transferring the capital from Gyeongju to Daegu, a move that never took place. In preparation for the move, a number of temples were founded that have grown to prominence in the centuries since.
