Geumsaem, Buddhist monument near Beomeosa Temple in Busan, South Korea.

Geumsaem stands atop Mount Geumjeongsan, featuring a natural spring where water flows continuously through the mountain's rocky terrain.

The site gained recognition in 678 CE when Buddhist master Uisang established Beomeosa Temple, making it a central point for religious practices.

The name Geumsaem translates to 'golden spring' due to the water's distinct color and the ancient legend of golden fish appearing in its depths.

The monument connects to multiple hiking trails across Mount Geumjeongsan, providing access points from Geumgang Park and Mandeok Pass.

The spring maintains a constant flow throughout all seasons, contributing to its designation as a protected monument by Busan Metropolitan City.
