Bori-am, Buddhist temple on Geumsan Mountain in Namhae County, South Korea.
The temple structures nestle into the mountain slopes, with wooden buildings connected by steep staircases overlooking the East China Sea.
Founded in 683 by Master Wonhyo during the Silla Dynasty, Bori-am changed its name from Bogwangsa during the Joseon Dynasty's King Hyeonjong period.
The temple houses a three-story stone pagoda made from red stones that Queen Heo brought from ancient India to the Gaya Kingdom.
Visitors can reach the temple via private vehicles or shuttle buses from Bokgok Parking Lot 1, with an entrance fee of 1,000 won for adults.
The temple contains the Haesugwaneum statue, a bell pavilion, Bogwangjeon Hall, and Manbul Hall, all built on steep cliff faces.
