Cheongpyeongsa Temple Audio Guide & Tour — Things to Do in Chuncheon, Korea

About

Cheongpyeongsa Temple is a Goryeo period temple located on Obongsan Mountain in Chuncheon, retaining beautiful nature and rich legends. Founded during the reign of King Gwangjong of Goryeo, it passes down the legend of the Tang princess and the lovesick snake, with traces such as Princess Cave and Princess Pagoda remaining. Yeongji Pond, an artificial pond created by Yi Ja-hyeon, is considered a beautiful garden.

Also, instead of Sacheonwangmun Gate, Hoejeonmun Gate, which contains the meaning of reincarnation, is designated as a treasure. Thanks to the outstanding superb view where the valley and Gusong Waterfall harmonize, the whole area has been designated as a state-designated Scenic Site, and you can find peace of mind in the simple scenery.
