Daesansa Temple – 대산사 (Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
Daesansa Temple is located to the northeast of Mt. Cheonwangsan (619.3 m) in western Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do. According to the “Woleunsan Daesansa Sajeok – 월은산 대산사 사적,” which is the only historical record about Daesansa Temple, the temple was first established in 830 A.D. by the famed monk Wonhyo-daesa (617-686 A.D.). But as you can tell from the time that Wonhyo-daesa actually lived, this makes the construction of the temple by Wonhyo-daesa a little suspicious.
With this in mind, when the temple was first established, it was named Yongbongsa Temple. During the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), Ilyeon (1206-1289) was the head monk of Yongbongsa Temple. It was at this time that the history of Daesansa Temple was written.
During the Imjin War (1592-98), the temple was destroyed by Japanese forces in 1592. The temple would later be rebuilt through the support of the royal family. However, in 1866, the temple was destroyed, once more, when it was looted and set on fire by thieves. In 1876, the temple was rebuilt and renamed as Daesansa Temple. However, the temple would be destroyed by fire, again, in 1930. So in 1959, the temple was rebuilt for the final time and continues to grow in size up to the present day.
In addition to the history of the temple, there’s a legend that claims that during the Silla Dynasty (57 B.C. – 935 A.D.), a Sugwanseeum-bosal (A Three Thousand Armed Image of the Bodhisattva of Compassion) drifted in the South Sea from the Mokji Kingdom. In total, there were three. One found a home at Unmunsa Temple, the other in an unknown location, while the final was enshrined at Daesansa Temple (Yongbongsa Temple). This would make the temple great. During the Imjin War, this statue of Gwanseeum-bosal was buried in the ground to hide it from Japanese looters. However, it’s claimed that a thief did in fact find the location of the statue. But when he was digging it up, the thief started to vomit blood and died while digging it up. However, by the late Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), when the temple was looted and set fire to, the statue of Gwanseeum-bosal was destroyed, as well. However, there is a claim that the statue was buried in a field before it and the temple were destroyed only to be rediscovered in 2000 in a neighbouring field. According to those that found it, this statue validates the temple legend of the statue of Gwanseeum-bosal. Whatever the case may be, it’s a rather interesting story connected to the once illustrious temple.
Temple LayoutDaesansa Temple is scenically located past the Daesan-ji Lake and up a side-winding mountain road that looks down on the valley below. As you first enter the grassy temple courtyard, you’ll notice the monks’ dorms and visitors’ centre book-ending the main hall at Daesansa Temple. Out in front of the Wontong-jeon Hall is a historic two-story pagoda that was obviously much larger once judging from its stout base. Lining the top of the base stone are several Buddhist related statues left behind by visitors.
Behind this pagoda rests the Wontong-jeon Hall. The exterior walls to this newly built main hall are adorned with two separate sets of murals. The first, and the much larger ones below, are dedicated to the Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life Murals). And above this, and much smaller and up near the eaves of the shrine hall, you’ll find a beautiful miniature set of the Shimu-do (The Ox-Herding Murals). The entire exterior to the main hall is adorned in vibrant dancheong colours.
Stepping inside the Wontong-jeon Hall, you’ll notice a rather unique set of main altar statues. The largest of the set is dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). Joining this central statue to the left is a golden capped image of Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife), while to the right you’ll find an image of Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). Rounding out the interior of the main hall is a collection of artwork that includes an older mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal, as well as a Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural).
To the right and rear of the Wontong-jeon Hall are a collection of three shaman shrine halls. The first of these three, and to the far left rear, is the Sanshin-gak Hall. The all-natural wooden exterior houses a mural dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit). Sanshin is joined in this mural by a dour-looking tiger. To the right of the Sanshin-gak Hall, and still to the rear of the main hall, is a somewhat larger shaman shrine hall. This shrine hall is the Chilseong/Dokseong-gak Hall. Housed inside this shaman shrine hall are a pair of paintings. The first of these two paintings, and hanging on the main altar to the left, is an older mural dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars). And to the right hangs a beautifully vibrant mural dedicated to Dokseong (The Lonely Saint).
The third, and final, shaman shrine hall directly to the right of the Wontong-jeon Hall is the Yongwang-dang Hall. The Yongwang-dang Hall is situated down a set of stone stairs. This shrine hall houses one of the more stunning paintings dedicated to Yongwang (The Dragon King) that I’ve seen in my travels throughout Korea. This masterful painting is a new addition to the temple, and the former red wooden tablet that used to be housed inside the Yongwang-dang Hall now rests out in front of the Yongwang-dang Hall.
How To Get ThereFrom the Cheongdo Intercity Bus Terminal, you’ll need to take Bus #1 and get off at the “Nokmyeong 2-ri” stop after seven stops, or 17 minutes. From this stop, you’ll then need to take a bus that reads “Punggak Sunhwa – 풍락 순환 버스.” After six stops, or 19 minutes, you’ll need to get off at the “Oksan 2-ri” stop. From this stop, you’ll need to walk for about 30 minutes, or 2.1 km, to get to the temple. Just follow the signs as you make your climb up towards Daesansa Temple.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10The main highlight to this lesser known temple are all the shaman shrine halls and the artwork that they house inside them. For example, the painting dedicated to Yongwang (The Dragon King) is one of the finest that you’ll see at any temple in Korea. And the dour-looking tiger in the Sanshin (Mountain Spirit) painting is a surprise, as well. Also, the entire interior and exterior of the Wontong-jeon Hall is simply stunning. Daesansa Temple also enjoys a beautiful location. So when it’s all put together, Daesansa Temple in Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do makes for a nice little escape from the busyness of daily life.

Janguisa Temple – 장의사 (Goseong, Gyeongsangnam-do)
Janguisa Temple is located on the eastern slopes of Mt. Munamsan (459.4 m) in eastern Goseong, Gyeongsangnam-do. Janguisa Temple was first founded by the famed monk Wonhyo-daesa (617-686 A.D.) in 642 A.D. After its founding, nothing is known about the temple’s history. In 1885, Janguisa Temple was destroyed by flooding. The temple was rebuilt in 1891 in its current location, which is lower on the mountain than its original location. The temple was rebuilt, once more, by the monk Hobong in 1920. And the temple we know today was rebuilt in the early 1960s.
Janguisa Temple is home to one provincial treasure, it’s the “Goseong Janguisa Stone Gwanseeum-bosal Statue,” which is Gyeongsangnam-do Tangible Cultural Property #511. However, it should be noted that this treasure is currently off-limits to the general public, as it doesn’t appear inside any of the shrine halls at Janguisa Temple.
Temple LayoutYou first make your way up to Janguisa Temple up a winding mountain road that overlooks the harbour from some distance. Along the way, you’ll pass by the slender Iljumun Gate. Eventually, you’ll arrive at the temple parking lot with the temple to your right.
You’ll pass between the administrative offices at the temple, as well as the Jong-ru Pavilion to your right. Housed inside the Jong-ru Pavilion is a beautiful bronze bell with images of Buddhas and Bicheon (Flying Heavenly Deities) on it. Crowning the bronze bell is a two-headed image of a dragon.
Around the corner, and to the left, you’ll enter into the main temple courtyard at Janguisa Temple. Looking straight ahead, you’ll see the Daeung-jeon Hall, which has just recently been repainted. The exterior walls to the main hall are vibrantly adorned with images of various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas like Bohyeon-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Power), Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha), Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion), Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife), and Munsu-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Wisdom). In addition to these stunning paintings, there are also images of lotus flowers, Podae-hwasang (The Hempen Bag) and a collection of the Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life Murals). Stepping inside the Daeung-jeon Hall, you’ll find a main altar occupied by a triad centred by Seokgamoni and joined on either side by a green haired image of Jijang-bosal and Gwanseeum-bosal. And rounding out the interior of the main hall is a modern Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) hanging on the far left wall.
To the left of the Daeung-jeon Hall is the administrative offices at Janguisa Temple, as well as the temple kitchen. In this area, and closer to the main hall, you’ll find an outdoor shrine dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Compassion. And to the right of the Daeung-jeon Hall, you’ll find the Cheonbul-jeon Hall. The exterior walls to this hall are adorned with fading murals of the Bodhidharma and various Buddhist related murals. Stepping inside the Cheonbul-jeon Hall, you’ll find a shrine hall filled with smaller statues of Seokgamoni-bul, Jijang-bosal, and Gwanseeum-bosal. This is repeated on the main altar, where you’ll find the exact set same with the central image being that of the Historical Buddha being joined on either side by the Bodhisattva of Compassion and the Bodhisattva of the Afterlife.
Between the Cheonbul-jeon Hall and the Daeung-jeon Hall, you’ll find a long flight of stairs. This leads up to the Samseong-gak Hall in the treeline. The exterior walls are adorned with simple dancheong colours. Stepping inside the shaman shrine hall, you’ll find four, instead of the more traditional three, shaman murals. The first, as you step inside, is the most original of the four. This painting is dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit); but instead of it being a male Mountain Spirit, this image is of a female Sanshin. The painting is reminiscent of the image of a female Sanshin found at Daewonsa Temple in Jirisan National Park. To the left of this female Sanshin is a modern, black accented, mural dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars). To the left of this central painting is an older painting, probably painted at the same time as the female Sanshin, dedicated to a dour-looking Dokseong (Lonely Saint). Finally, and hanging on the far left wall, is a seated image of Yongwang (The Dragon King) being accompanied by a yellow dragon.
How To Get ThereThe easiest way to get to Janguisa Temple is by taxi. From the Goseong Intercity Bus Terminal, you can catch a taxi to the temple. It’ll take under 15 minutes, over 10 km, and it’ll cost about 15,000 won (one way). If you’re going in a group, this is probably the best way to travel.
However, if you’d rather public transportation, you can take Bus #989 to get to Janguisa Temple from the Goseong Intercity Bus Terminal. You’ll need to take this bus for 10 stops and get off at the “Ma-dong” bus stop. In total, the bus ride should take about 25 minutes. From where the bus drops you off, and this is where it gets difficult, you’ll need to walk nearly two kilometres north, which will take about 40 minutes, to get to Janguisa Temple. In total, the travel time should be just over an hour depending on how fast you hike.
Overall Rating: 6/10While definitely lesser known, Janguisa Temple has a few highlights which are most noticeably the female Sanshin (Mountain Spirit) housed inside the Samseong-gak Hall and the newly painted murals adorning the exterior of the Daeung-jeon Hall. On a clear day, you can enjoy the view out towards the harbour, as well as the bronze bell housed inside the Jong-ru Pavilion. Janguisa Temple definitely has a serene feeling to it.

Jukrimsa Temple – 죽림사 (Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
Jukrimsa Temple is located in the southern foothills of Mt. Yubongsan (245.1 m) in southern Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. It’s believed that the temple was first built in 809 A.D., but the exact history of the temple is unknown. The only details that we really know is that Jukrimsa Temple was destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-98) and then later rebuilt. There were several reconstructions conducted on the temple during the 1800s. However, during the Korean War (1950-53), the temple was destroyed. After a few decades, Jukrimsa Temple was built, once more, starting in 1990. In the ensuing years, the Daeung-jeon Hall, the Samseong-gak Hall, the Eungjin-jeon Hall, and the Yosachae (monks’ dorms) were built at the temple.
Jukrimsa Temple is home to a Gyeongsangbuk-do Tangible Cultural Property, which is the main altar triad inside the Daeung-jeon Hall.
Temple LayoutAbout a kilometre and a half up a mountain road is Jukrimsa Temple. The first thing to greet you at the temple is the stately Iljumun Gate with stout, stone pillars. A little further up the road, but before you arrive at the temple grounds, you’ll notice a pair of ornate stupas to your right. These modern stupas are near replicas of the one found at Seonamsa Temple on Mt. Baekyangsan in Busan-jin, Busan. These stupas are adorned with decorative dragons, elephants, tigers, Bicheon (Flying Heavenly Deities), as well as an image of Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife). And just beyond these large, ornate stupas are a row of older stupas.
With a slight incline in the mountain road, you’ll finally near the outskirts of the main temple grounds. Up an uneven set of stone stairs, you’ll make your way under the two-story Boje-ru Pavilion. The first story acts as an entry to the main temple courtyard, while the second story acts as a lecture hall for larger dharma talks. The pavilion is adorned in simplistic dancheong colours, while being surrounded on all sides by rose bushes, Japanese maples, and various shrubs.
Now standing squarely in the main temple courtyard, you’ll find a three-story pagoda out in front of the Daeung-jeon Hall. There is a stone barrier surrounding the pagoda with stone lotus images on all sides of the structure. The pagoda is modern, while also reminiscent of a Silla-era design. To your left, you’ll find the monks’ dorms, while straight ahead of you is the Daeung-jeon Hall. Out in front of the main hall are a collection of stone statues. To the far left is an image dedicated to Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion). Joining this statue in this area are three statues embodying the idea of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” And to the far right, you’ll find a stone triad centred by Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise).
Surrounding the exterior walls of the Daeung-jeon Hall are a collection of simple Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life). Stepping inside the main hall, and resting on the main altar, is the Gyeongsangbuk-do Tangible Cultural Property. The main altar triad is centred by an image dedicated to Seokgamoni-bul (The Historical Buddha). And joining this central image on either side are statues dedicated to Jijang-bosal and Gwanseeum-bosal. The statue of Seokgamoni-bul stands 1.33 metres in height. The statue has a robust chest with smooth shoulders. Its robe hangs over only one shoulder. It’s believed that the statue dates back to the early Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). Additionally, the statue had damage to both its neck and face, which has subsequently been repaired. Also, the statue has two new hands. Overall, the statue is both stately and imposing. There are a couple murals that hang inside the Daeung-jeon Hall like the Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural) that hangs on the far left wall, as well as the red mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal on the far right wall. Rather interestingly, and to the bottom left of the mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal, are a collection of pictures. The far left picture is of Park Chung Hee (1917-79, the central picture is that of his wife, Yuk Young-soo (1925-74), and the final picture is of Roh Moo-hyun (1946-2009).
To the left of the Daeung-jeon Hall, you’ll find two temple shrine halls. The first of these two is the Samseong-gak Hall. The exterior walls are adorned in simple dancheong colours. Stepping inside the shaman shrine hall, you’ll find three different murals. These murals consist of one dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars), another dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit), and the final dedicated to Dokseong (The Lonely Saint). And the other shrine hall that visitors can explore at Jukrimsa Temple is the Eungjin-jeon Hall to the left of the Samseong-gak Hall. Housed inside the Eungjin-jeon Hall is an all-white main altar triad centred by Seokgamoni-bul and joined on either side by images of Mireuk-bul (The Future Buddha) and Yeondeung-bul (The Past Buddha). And on either side of this main altar triad are white images of the Nahan (The Historical Disciples of the Buddha).
How To Get ThereThere are no direct buses that go to Jukrimsa Temple in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do. So the most direct way to get to the temple is by taxi from the Yeongcheon Intercity Bus Terminal. The bus ride will take about 15 minutes and cost about 10,000 won.
Overall Rating: 6.5/10While there isn’t one huge highlight at Jukrimsa Temple, there are several smaller ones like the two ornate modern stupas at the entry of the temple grounds, the main altar triad inside the Daeung-jeon Hall, and the shaman paintings and Nahan statues inside the Eungjin-jeon Hall. The temple grounds are quite tranquil, as well.

Bukdaeam Hermitage – 북대암 (Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do)
Bukdaeam Hermitage is located on the Unmunsa Temple grounds in Cheongdo, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Both Bukdaeam Hermitage and Unmunsa Temple are situated to the north of a cauldron of mountains that includes Mt. Unmunsan (1,188 m) and Mt. Gajisan (1,240.9 m). Purportedly, Bukdaeam Hermitage is the first temple or hermitage built on Mt. Unmunsan. However, the exact date of its founding is unknown, but it’s speculated that it was first built in 557 A.D. The hermitage was later reconstructed in 1851 and continues to be repaired and rebuilt to the present day. As for the name of the hermitage, Bukdaeam Hermitage, it gets its name from being built so high up on the mountain like a swallow’s nest.
Hermitage LayoutYou first approach Bukdaeam Hermitage up a long, winding mountain road that eventually becomes a steep and winding trail. After a few hundred metres up the mountain trail, you’ll come to the hermitage’s grounds. The first things to greet you are a wall of hermitage buildings that include the nuns’ living quarters and kitchen. To the right, and a little further along the trail, you’ll notice a beautiful hall on a mountain ledge. This colourful hall is the Dokseong/Sanshin-gak Hall. Climbing up the very steep stairs, you’ll find an image dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) with a wispy, white beard and a ferocious tiger at his side. Sanshin is joined by an older image dedicated to Dokseong (The Lonely Saint). And it’s from this shaman shrine hall that you get amazing views of the valley below.
Beneath the Dokseong/Sanshin-gak Hall, you’ll find a much broader ledge. It’s here that you’ll find the main hall. The exterior walls of the Geukrak-jeon Hall are adorned in a beautiful collection of Palsang-do (The Eight Scenes from the Buddha’s Life Murals). Stepping inside the Geukrak-jeon Hall, you’ll find a central triad on the main altar. This triad consists of Amita-bul (The Buddha of the Western Paradise) in the centre joined by Gwanseeum-bosal (The Bodhisattva of Compassion) and Jijang-bosal (The Bodhisattva of the Afterlife). To the left of this triad is a mural dedicated to Jijang-bosal, while to the left is a modern Shinjung Taenghwa (Guardian Mural).
Out in front of the Geukrak-jeon Hall is a solitary stone lantern. It’s from this vantage point that you get an amazing view of Unmunsa Temple down in the valley below. Unfortunately, there are several black power lines that interfere with the view. To the left of the main hall are some more nuns’ quarters. And behind the Geukrak-jeon Hall sits the hermitage’s Chilseong-gak Hall. Housed inside this shaman shrine hall is an older mural dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars).
It should be noted that both Unmunsa Temple and Bukdaeam Hermitage are best visited in the fall when the leaves are changing colours. They are probably two of the better locations to enjoy fall in Korea.
How To Get ThereTo get to Bukdaeam Hermitage, you first need to get to Unmunsa Temple. And to get to Unmunsa Temple, you’ll need to get to the Cheongdo Intercity Bus Terminal. From the Cheongdo Intercity Bus Terminal, you’ll need to catch the bus that runs to Unmunsa Temple. This bus runs eight times a day. The first bus leaves at 7:40 a.m., and the last bus leaves at 7:30 p.m. Then from Unmunsa Temple’s front gate, you’ll need to walk 300 metres to a stone marker that points you in the direction of Bukdaeam Hermitage. After turning left at the stone marker that reads “북대암,” you’ll need to hike up the road that eventually becomes a trail. In total, the strenuous hike lasts about 700 metres.
Overall Rating: 6/10The views alone make a trip to Bukdaeam Hermitage well worth it. In addition to all of this natural beauty, you can also enjoy all the shaman murals at the hermitage like the original mural dedicated to Sanshin (The Mountain Spirit) or the older mural dedicated to Chilseong (The Seven Stars). And if you’re at Bukdaeam Hermitage, you’ll most likely visit Unmunsa Temple, as well. Together they make for a very pleasant day trip to the countryside.
