A very serene, beautiful, and peaceful Buddhist temple on Jeju Island! The entrance to the temple is tranquil with a fountain and fish pond. There is also a large bell and a huge drum at the compound of the entrance of the temple. It is highly recommended to visit this temple and explore the stunning interior of the main hall. The temple is very clean and well-designed. The architecture is impressive and artistic particularly the gold dragon on the pillar.

A nice big temple that's free to enter! Highly recommended for those who want to get away from the typical museum itinerary of Jeju. Only drawback is that it's a bit secluded, so there's not much to do around it afterwards. But by itself, I think it was worth the 15-min taxi ride from the hotel.

This is devotionals chanting place. It is calmness. Huge Buddha Statues. It is excellent to relief your stress looking at Buddha's face. Focus on objects. It is Kasina meditation 🧘♂️.

Beautiful and tranquil. When one is quiet, one can feel peaceful and at ease inside this temple. The walls are adorned with intricate golden details that surely catch your eye. I would say this is the most beautiful and grandest temple on Jeju island, more so compared to Gwaneumsa Temple at the foot of Hallasan.

Beautiful temple. Peaceful, calm. Grounds are lovely, but may be difficult for people with mobility issues.
