#3 of 9 in Historic Sites in Jeju

Nestled at the foot of a mountain, Gwaneumsa Temple is dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Compassion and adorned with countless statues, colorful murals, and paper lanterns. The whole area emits an atmosphere of tranquility with its koi ponds, cherry blossoms, ancient cave shrines, and quiet paths sheltered by tall cedar trees. The temple dates back to the period before the 10th century, when Tamra Dynasty ruled the country. Destroyed during the 18th century, when Confucianism was declared the only national religion, the temple was rebuilt in the 20th century.

A little bit off, but not far from the Jeju city and is a good place to come quietly, "I went to a good place to come for people in moderation and diplomacy

This is a big temple with lots to see. There are a couple of large budda statues and many small ones. It also has a nice gift shop. It is far from downtown and a bit hard to get without a car. more »

한번쯤 볼만 합니다. 우리나라에 이런 사찰도 있구나 라는 생각을 절로 하시게 될겁니다. 한라산 등반 코스 중 한곳 입구에 있습니다. 잠시 쉬어가기도 좋습니다. more »
