Religious Site Tourist Spot

• ©

Nestled at the foot of a mountain, Gwaneumsa Temple is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Compassion and adorned with countless statues, colorful murals, and paper lanterns. The whole area emits an atmosphere of tranquility with its koi ponds, cherry blossoms, ancient cave shrines, and quiet paths sheltered by tall cedar trees. The temple dates back to the period before the 10th century, when Tamra Dynasty ruled the country. Destroyed during the 18th century, when Confucianism was declared the only national religion, the temple was rebuilt in the 20th century.

  여기 들러볼만하다. 다른 곳에서는 볼수 없는 독특한 분위기를 가지고 있다. 엄청 큰 규모는 아니지만 볼만하며 주변 풍광도 좋은 편이다.  more »

  It's worth a visit here. It has a unique atmosphere that cannot be seen anywhere else. It's not huge, but it's worth the view, and the scenery around it is nice.

  It is very near city center although it is difficult to go there if you take public transportation. If you use your own vehicle, you can easily access it. As it is a calm place, you can get healing.  more »
