Jeondeungsa, Buddhist temple in Ganghwa Island, South Korea
Jeondeungsa Temple stands on Ganghwa Island, surrounded by Samnang Fortress walls and containing multiple halls for worship and meditation practices.
Founded in 381 during the Goguryeo period, the temple gained its current name after receiving a jade lantern from Queen of King Chungyeol.
The Daeungbojeon hall preserves precious Beobhwagyeong scriptures, brought from Jeongsusa Temple in 1544, representing Korean Buddhist heritage.
Visitors can participate in templestay programs that include meditation sessions, traditional meals, and overnight accommodation in basic or Wolsongyo rooms.
The temple houses National Treasure No. 393, a bell from 1097 that features an unusual design without a sound-vibrating mechanism.
