Baekdamsa, Buddhist temple in Seoraksan National Park, South Korea
Located in a deep valley of Inner Seorak, Baekdamsa Temple stands next to the hundredth pool of water, surrounded by mountain landscapes and forest paths.
Founded in 647 CE during Queen Jindeok's reign, the temple underwent multiple reconstructions after fires, with the current structure dating from 1957.
The temple maintains a memorial hall displaying artifacts of Manhae Han Yong Un, a Buddhist monk who contributed to Korean poetry and independence movements.
Visitors can participate in two-day temple stay programs that include meditation sessions, evening chanting, and vegetarian meals in the mountain setting.
The temple houses a wooden Amitabha Buddha statue from 1748, recognized as Treasure No. 1182, demonstrating early 18th-century wood carving techniques.
