Beopjusa Temple, Boeun-gun

I desided hiking to Cheonwangbong but first I visited the famous temple Beobjusa which is located under the peak. By an entrance I paid 5000 won. I have to admit it's the amazing temple with a dominant Golden Maitreya Buddha Statue.

There are countless Buddhist temples found among the many mountains of Korea. This one is top 5 in all of Korea, without question. Few have a longer history than Beopjusa Temple, but what makes it even more amazing is that many of the buildings here have been left standing for 400 years. That is amazing considering most buildings in Korea (especially those of such size, history, and importance) were destroyed during the Japanese occupation in the early 20th century or the Korean War. This temple boasts the oldest and largest wooden pagoda remaining in Korea and other Korean National Treasures, all set in the midst of beautiful Songnisan National Park. Beopjusa Temple is also one of the seven temples that make up the Sansa UNESCO World Heritage Site. You would be hard pressed to find more history found in the midst of such natural beauty in all of Korea, so I'd wholeheartedly recommend visiting this place

All the whole of Korea the best location is a temple which is a huge area, the best spot to enjoy the landscape. The beautiful wooden pagoda, 4 kinds of different bell. You will get a holy water from here. Before the entrance to the temple, there are a lot of fresh jujubes shops they let you taste so you can buy some after visit the temple.

The temple is a UNESCO world heritage and we spent one fine day here in 2020 autumn (31 Oct). We walked from the bus station to the temple and then also walked to the nearby lake, before taking a dinner at the town.

This temple is beautiful and hosts a few of the Korea national treasures. We visited during the evening prayers and were able to observe the gong ritual. Enjoying the tranquility of the yard, with the prayer chants filling the air from multiple closed hall, and the setting sun made the visit majical
