Quietly nestled at the entrance of Seoraksan, Sinheungsa Temple is a historic temple with roots in Hyangseongsa Temple, which was founded during the Silla period. Passing through the One Pillar Gate, you will encounter Tongil Daebul, a magnificent bronze Buddha statue built to wish for the reunification of South and North Korea and world peace. Crossing Sesimgyo Bridge and passing through Sacheonwangmun Gate into the temple grounds, you can explore precious cultural heritage, such as Geungnakbojeon Hall, which features colorful floral lattice doors and houses the Amitabha Triad created by Muyeom, and Bojeru Pavilion, where a signboard written by Chusa Kim Jung-hee hangs.
Harmonizing with the beautiful natural scenery of Seoraksan, it is a great place to enjoy a quiet stroll through a mountain temple.
