Seven Buddhist temples spread across mountains in South Korea, featuring central courtyards surrounded by Buddha halls, lecture rooms, and dormitories.

The monasteries, established between the 7th and 9th centuries, represent the introduction and development of Buddhism in the Korean peninsula.

Each temple complex maintains traditional Buddhist practices, religious education, and serves as a center for meditation and spiritual development.

The temples remain active religious sites with dedicated areas for worship, meditation sessions, and accommodation facilities for overnight temple stays.

The temples lack physical boundaries, integrating with the natural environment through carefully planned geometric layouts that follow mountain topography.
