Bongjeongsa Temple

Worth a visit if you are in the area or if you want to pray specifically to there. If you do want to visit, ensure that you map a few other things around the area to make the time worth while. If not pretty much the same as all the other temples.

One of the “Sansa” buddhist temples in Korea recognized as UNESCO heritage site, Bongjeongsa is a small temple that is serene and quiet.

Located not too high up on the mountain, if you arrive here with a car you can drive up to the entrance. Otherwise, the walk up to the temple from the gate is not too far either.

There is no entry fee anymore (it’s been removed by recent law change), so free to tour around. However, as others say unless you specifically came here for a reason or wanted to see this temple, I would skip it. Not too much to see, and similar to other temples.

Buseoksa temple (부석사) is more grandeur and larger than this temple, recommend going there if you want to see a temple.

UNESCO World Heritage alongside 6 other temples in South Korea

I heard that it's selected as UNESCO world heritage, and indeed it is a beautiful traditional temple that I am fascinated. It has so much history in it so worth visiting

Nice stroll path. Historical. Nature. Mountain hike course.

Old and beautiful temple and well preserved.

at this time of the year it is very cold weqther is good chilly and windy...

We were lucky enough to have tea with the head monk. His stories were wonderful.

We had a wonderful visit with the monk who led us in a meditation. It was a lovely experience

We only visited here because we happened to be staying at Bongjeongsagil 200 Guesthouse just down the road. It was really great though, a really old (the oldest wooden building in Korea) and magnificent temple in an incredibly peaceful part of nature. We saw two wild deer, a woodpecker and a number of other birds here during our short visit. A couple of other people appeared to be there solely for the bird watching.

Such a great experience, so peaceful , a must visit . one of the oldest temples in Korea
Great temple architecture. Some of the oldest buildings in Korea. A lovely walk through woods to reach the temples makes it even more agreeable.

Really Nice place. I spent a night there and it is really beautifull and calm. The ceremony are interresting to see (you can also do the morning pray if you want. It is really early though.). Food is vegetarian only.

This place is really breathtaking and so calm and peaceful :) it is definitely worth a trip if you need some healing time, and the people there were so kind and helpful!
