Situated on the banks of the Baengmagang River north of Busosan Mountain, Goransa Temple harmonizes with Nakhwaam, which holds the tragedy of the fall of Baekje, presenting a tranquil scenery. The year of its foundation is unclear, but there are legends that it was a pavilion for the Baekje king or built to comfort the souls of the Baekje women who were sacrificed at Nakhwaam. The temple's name is derived from the rare plant 'Selliguea hastata' that grows naturally in the crevices of the rocks behind the dharma hall, and it is said that Baekje kings enjoyed drinking the mineral water with the leaves of this Selliguea hastata floating in it.
The Goran mineral water, which holds the legend that one cup makes you three years younger, has long been widely known for its efficacy, attracting visitors. The Goran mineral water spring and the natural habitat of Selliguea hastata are key areas that must be visited, and along with Nakhwaam right above the temple, you can reflect on the history of Baekje.
