Buseoksa, Buddhist temple in Buseok-myeon, South Korea.

Buseoksa Temple stands near Mount Bonghwang, featuring traditional wooden structures and stone walls arranged across multiple levels of the hillside terrain.

The temple, established in 676 under King Munmu of Silla, contains Muryangsujeon Hall, which remains the second oldest wooden building in Korea.

The temple houses five National Treasures, including the Amitabha Buddha statue positioned on the western wall of Muryangsujeon Hall.

Visitors can explore nine stone walls within the temple complex, including structures such as Iljumun, Beomjongnu, Anyangnu, Seonmyogak, and Gwaneumjeon.

According to records, a Chinese woman named Sunmyo transformed into a dragon to protect the temple site by defeating local thieves.
