About

A thousand-year-old temple founded by Uisangdaesa during the reign of King Munmu of Silla, it is considered one of the three great temples of the Yeongnam region, along with Haeinsa and Tongdosa. Nestled in Geumjeongsan Mountain, a famous mountain in Busan, it boasts a beautiful landscape where magnificent valleys and dense forests harmonize. It was destroyed by fire during the Imjin War but was restored during the Joseon era and remains today, holding numerous cultural heritages, including the Daeungjeon Hall and the Three-story Stone Pagoda, which are designated as national treasures.

It is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the secular world and experience peaceful relaxation in the tranquil atmosphere of a mountain temple.
