The original Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks are stored in a dedicated repository at Haeinsa Temple, which relies on natural ventilation rather than modern climate control.
The park features a reconstruction of the 'Daejanggyeong' (Tripitaka) creation process using high-tech audio-visual displays.
The woodblocks were carved during the Goryeo Dynasty as an attempt to invoke divine protection against Mongol invasions.
The park's architecture mimics traditional Korean wooden construction to harmonize with the mountainous landscape of Gayasan National Park.
The Theme Park of The Tripitaka Koreana serves as an educational center dedicated to the 81,258 wooden printing blocks of the Tripitaka Koreana. The facility integrates historical exhibits with interactive technology to explain the 13th-century woodblock carving process. Visitors can view a reproduction of the Haeinsa Temple storage halls, known as Janggyeong Panjeon. The park features experiential zones including a 5D cinema and a digital exhibition hall showcasing the preservation of the UNESCO World Heritage cultural property. It functions as a specialized gateway for those planning to travel to the actual Haeinsa Temple located further up the mountain. The site emphasizes the scientific preservation techniques used by Goryeo-era monks to keep the woodblocks intact against humidity and insects.
