Dodang Park is a park established across the areas of Chunui-dong, Dodang-dong, and Yeowol-dong in Bucheon-si. It is divided into themed zones such as a cherry blossom grove, a rose garden, exercise and resting areas, and a physical training district. Every spring, the Dodangsan Cherry Blossom Festival is held, and in June, the scent of roses in the Dodangsan Rose Garden intensifies. Covering 66,000㎡, about 200,000 rose bushes are densely planted here. Upon entering Dodang Park and turning left at the fountain, visitors find a narrow path lined with roses on both sides—this is the entrance to the rose garden. Initial disappointment at the narrow path soon turns to amazement upon entering the rose garden, as the entire northern ridge of Dodangsan is covered with various colors of roses, creating a spectacular sight. Near the rose garden in Dodang Park, to the left of the central fountain stands the Bucheon Local History Museum. Although a modest-sized building, inside it comprehensively showcases the entire history of Bucheon from the prehistoric era to the present through various relics, photos, and documents.

Seokwangsa Temple is a direct temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism located on Bowunsan in Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do. Advocating ‘Right Buddhism, Practiced Buddhism,’ it has engaged in various activities as a missionary temple within the city despite its brief history. Founded in 1976 by the late Supreme Patriarch Gosan through a tent Buddhist service, Seokwangsa grew into a representative urban missionary temple in the metropolitan area with 15,000 registered households in about 20 years. Its significance lies not only in size but also in diverse attempts to closely connect with the local community, including daycare centers, kindergartens, senior citizen banquets, cultural events, and publishing. It published the Seokwangsa-bo, effectively pioneering modern Buddhist document missionary work, and through children’s missionary activities centered on kindergartens and daycare centers, establishment and operation of a consumer cooperative, publication of Bucheon Citizen Newspaper, and establishment and operation of Bucheon Foreign Workers’ House, it achieved new milestones in Buddhist community and social democratization movements. Especially in the 1980s, Seokwangsa was known as a frequent gathering place for democratization and labor activists, becoming a sacred site of democratization in Bucheon. The temple’s iljumun gate, main hall, octagonal nine-story pagoda, and bell pavilion signal it as a temple, but its atmosphere differs from typical temples. It includes a consumer cooperative, Beautiful Store, free clinic, Lumbini swimming pool, daycare center, kindergarten, Wangsanggeukrakjeon (funeral hall), and Anrakjeongto (columbarium). Trucks loaded with goods for the cooperative and Beautiful Store come and go, while groups of children chatter at the daycare below. At the funeral hall and register office, mourners in black funeral attire sometimes pace with somber expressions.
