Ssangbongsa, Buddhist temple in Hwasun County, South Korea
Ssangbongsa temple stands between two mountain peaks in Jeung Village, featuring multiple halls and traditional Korean architecture with painted exterior walls.
The temple complex, established in 868 during the Unified Silla period by monk Cheolgam, underwent several reconstructions in 1081, 1628, 1667, and 1724.
The temple functions as a center of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, maintaining Buddhist practices and housing important religious artifacts and statues.
Travelers can reach the temple grounds by taking Bus 218 from Hwasun Intercity Bus Terminal to the designated temple stop.
The Cheolgam Stupa, designated as National Treasure 57, represents one of the finest octagonal stupas from the Unified Silla period in Korea.
