Bogyeongsa Temple

Located at the base of Mount Cheonryeongsan, Bogyeongsa Temple features traditional wooden buildings, stone pagodas, and multiple ceremonial halls arranged in a mountain setting.

Monk Jimyeong established the temple in 603 AD during King Jinpyeong's reign of Silla Dynasty after returning from his studies in Tang China.

The temple maintains four designated Korean National Treasures and functions as a center for Buddhist education through ceremonies, meditation sessions, and religious programs.

Visitors access the temple through hiking trails that lead to the entrance gates, where they first encounter the decorative Iljumun Gate before proceeding to the main complex.

The temple grounds contain thirteen cascading waterfalls, with the seventh waterfall, Yeonsan, reaching a height of thirty meters behind the main courtyard.
