Bohyeonsa, Buddhist temple on Mount Myohyang, North Korea
This temple in North Pyong'an Province contains multiple halls and structures arranged along an axis centered around the main Taeung Hall building.
The temple, established in 1024 during the Koryo dynasty, became a stronghold for warrior monks fighting Japanese invasions under the leadership of saint Sosan.
Kwanum Hall, dedicated to Avalokitesvara and constructed in 1449, stands as National Treasure number 57 within the temple grounds.
The temple entrance currently operates through a side gate, leading visitors to the inner sanctum through the Chonwang Gate with its Four Heavenly Kings.
The nine-story Tabo Pagoda from 1044 represents one of the oldest structures at the site and holds the status of National Treasure number 7.
