What it is like
Haeinsa, on the slopes of Gayasan in the north of Hapcheon County, keeps the Tripitaka Koreana: 81,258 woodblocks of Buddhist scripture, carved over 16 years in the reign of the Goryeo king Gojong and stored in the Janggyeong Panjeon halls, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. About 5 km from the temple, the county built the Tripitaka Koreana Theme Park for the 2011 millennium of the first Goryeo Tripitaka, with exhibition halls on how the blocks were carved and how they have survived. This festival fills the park each autumn.
It grew out of the Tripitaka Koreana World Culture Festival, held at the park and around Haeinsa in 2011, 2013 and 2017. Under the records-culture name it ran 19 October–3 November 2019, paused in 2020 and 2021, and has returned every year since 2022. Its length changes a lot: the core programme lasted three days in 2023, five in 2024 and ten in 2025, while the 2026 edition is listed for 24 days.
KTO's 2026 listing describes the theme "a flower-path trip around Hapcheon" (꽃길따라 합천 한바퀴): autumn-flower sculptures of the county's sights arranged on the plaza as a four-stage journey, from a "departure station" with the county mascot Byeolkkungi to a camping-themed last stop. Around it are a chrysanthemum bonsai show, winning works from the national Tripitaka art competition, and family workshops such as caricatures, mother-of-pearl key rings, soap, ceramic gonggi stones and family-motto calligraphy. A participatory history play and magic and balloon acts are also listed, but no daily timetable was published.
The honest caveats: this is a modest county festival, and its information is in Korean apart from a short KTO listing in English. The ticket is the park's normal admission. The park usually closes on Mondays, and the listing does not say whether that changes during the festival. There is no railway nearby: from Seoul it takes a KTX to Daegu, a metro ride and an hour on a country bus. The reward is combining the festival with Haeinsa, which is free to enter, and the Gayasan Sori-gil trail, which follows the Hongnyu-dong valley from the park area up to the temple.
Highlights
- Autumn-flower sculptures of Hapcheon's sights laid out on the plaza as a four-stage "trip around Hapcheon", the 2026 theme
- Chrysanthemum bonsai exhibition and winning works from the national Palman Daejanggyeong (Tripitaka Koreana) art competition
- Family workshops (fees extra): caricatures, coffee-ground fridge magnets, mother-of-pearl key rings, chrysanthemum painting, soap, ceramic gonggi stones and family-motto calligraphy
- The theme park's halls on how the woodblocks were carved and preserved, plus the free 5D film in the Bit-sori-gwan
- Haeinsa Temple, home of the 81,258 Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks, about 5 km away and free to enter
- A 24-day run in 2026 (9 October–1 November), against five days in 2024 and ten in 2025
Who it suits. Best for travelers heading to Haeinsa who want context on the Tripitaka Koreana and an autumn flower display, and for families whose children enjoy craft workshops; less suited to anyone expecting a large festival or English-language programmes, or to travelers on a tight schedule without a car.
Getting there
From Seoul
KTX from Seoul Station to Dongdaegu (about 1 h 40 m–1 h 45 m; ₩39,000 standard class since the 1 September 2026 fare cut), then Daegu Metro Line 1 to Seobu Bus Terminal Station (서부정류장역, station 123) for Daegu Seobu Bus Terminal. Intercity buses to Haeinsa leave 14 times a day and are scheduled at 56 minutes (₩9,700). The theme park is about 5 km before Haeinsa: ask the driver for 대장경테마파크, or ride to the Haeinsa terminal and take a taxi back down. No direct Seoul–Haeinsa bus was listed when checked in October 2026.
From Busan
No direct Busan–Haeinsa bus was listed when checked in October 2026. Take a KTX or other train to Dongdaegu, then Daegu Metro Line 1 to Seobu Bus Terminal Station and the Haeinsa bus, as from Seoul.
From Incheon Airport
AREX to Seoul Station, then KTX to Dongdaegu and on by metro and the Haeinsa bus as from Seoul. With an afternoon arrival, plan to stay overnight in Daegu.
Last leg from Seobu Bus Terminal Station (Daegu), then intercity bus
Daegu Metro Line 1. Not walkable: the Haeinsa bus from Daegu Seobu Bus Terminal takes 56 minutes to Haeinsa, about 5 km beyond the theme park
Festival shuttle
No festival shuttle bus was documented for 2026 on the pages opened.
Getting home
The festival closes at 18:00. Buses from Haeinsa back to Daegu Seobu take about 1 h 20 m and the last ones leave in the early evening; they start at the Haeinsa terminal, about 5 km from the park, so take a taxi there unless you have confirmed a stop at the park. From Seobu Bus Terminal Station ride Line 1 to Dongdaegu for the KTX to Seoul (about 1 h 40 m–1 h 45 m). A new KTX timetable starts on 1 November 2026, the festival's last day: check the last bus at the terminal and the last KTX in the Korail app (코레일+) before the festival day.
Parking
Large free car park at the theme park; car park 4 is closest to the ticket office. Haeinsa's own car park charges ₩4,000 for a car.
How to switch Naver Map and Kakao Map to English
Google Maps shows train, subway and bus routes in Korea but not walking or driving directions yet, so for the walk from the station Naver Map or Kakao Map is more reliable.
Before you go
1330 · Travel hotline
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 / 119 · Emergencies
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
T-money card
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Maps
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Trains and buses
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.

Before or after the festival
Places you can fit in before or after the festival without missing the shuttle or the last train or bus back.
A gentle walking trail up the Hongnyu-dong valley, past the Nongsanjeong pavilion linked to the Silla scholar Choi Chi-won and the Nakhwadam pool, from the theme park area to Yeongsan Bridge below Haeinsa. KTO gives about 6 km and 2.5 hours (another source 7.3 km); it is free and open at all times. Start by early afternoon to reach Haeinsa before it closes and before the last buses to Daegu, which leave Haeinsa terminal in the early evening. Tip: it doubles as your way to the bus.
Getting there: On foot from the Sori-gil entrance by the theme park: about 6 km, 2.5 hours one way to Haeinsa; free
The Gayasan head temple keeping the 81,258 Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks in the Janggyeong Panjeon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995: you see the racks of blocks through the slatted windows from the courtyard. Entry is free; visiting hours are 08:30–18:00 in summer and 08:30–17:00 in winter (which applies in late October is unconfirmed), so arrive by about 16:30. Ending here suits the way home: buses to Daegu Seobu start at Haeinsa terminal and the last ones leave in the early evening.
Getting there: About 5 km up the road: taxi, the Daegu–Haeinsa bus if it stops at the park (not confirmed), or the Sori-gil on foot (about 2.5 hours)
Questions travelers ask
When is the Tripitaka Koreana Cultural Festival 2026?
9 October–1 November 2026, 09:00–18:00, at the Tripitaka Koreana Theme Park in Gaya-myeon, Hapcheon, according to KTO's listing. The park normally closes on Mondays, so call Hapcheon County (055-930-4696) before a Monday visit.
How much does it cost?
Entry is paid: it is the theme park ticket, and workshops cost extra. Hapcheon County's 2026 listing gives no prices; at the park's standard rates (KTO data) an adult ticket costs a few thousand won and children 6 and under enter free. Bring some cash for the workshops.
How do I get there from Seoul?
KTX to Dongdaegu (about 1 h 40 m, ₩39,000), Daegu Metro Line 1 to Seobu Bus Terminal Station, then a Haeinsa bus (56 minutes, ₩9,700, 14 a day). The park is about 5 km before Haeinsa: ask the driver for 대장경테마파크, or take a taxi back from the Haeinsa terminal.
Can I do it as a day trip from Seoul?
Yes, if you start early: the last buses from Haeinsa to Daegu leave in the early evening, and KTX trains run from Dongdaegu to Seoul into the late evening. Check the last bus at the terminal and the last KTX in the Korail app (코레일+) before the day; a new KTX timetable starts on 1 November.
Can I see the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks?
Yes, at Haeinsa, about 5 km away. Entry to the temple is free. The 81,258 blocks stay inside the Janggyeong Panjeon halls; visitors look in from behind a rope barrier, 08:30–18:00 in summer and 08:30–17:00 in winter.
Is there information in English?
Only a short KTO listing under the name Tripitaka Koreana Cultural Festival. No English programme or guiding was published, so a translation app helps.

What we could not confirm
- No Hapcheon County notice or news report of the 2026 edition was found; dates, hours, theme and programme come from KTO's TourAPI listing (contentId 3019716, modified 13 Oct 2026). Whether the full programme runs all 24 days or only on certain days (in 2023 the core programme lasted three days) is unclear.
- Whether the park opens on Mondays during the festival (it normally closes on Mondays) and whether 1 November follows the park's shorter November hours (09:00–17:00).
- 2026 ticket and workshop prices: Hapcheon County's listing (ministry and KTO) says only that entry is paid and experience fees are separate; whether the park's standard rates in KTO data apply, and any online discount (20% in 2024), was not published.
- Whether Daegu–Haeinsa intercity buses stop at the theme park in either direction was not confirmed; bus times are from a third-party mirror of the national timetable feed (October 2026).
- Last bus from Haeinsa to Daegu Seobu and last KTX from Dongdaegu to Seoul on the festival dates under the timetables in force that day (a new KTX timetable starts on 1 Nov 2026, the festival's last day); the times were seen only on third-party mirrors.
- Accessibility, rain policy, pets, card payment and crowd levels were not published.
