Baegamsan Mountain Baegyangsa Temple and Surroundings, Jangseong

The area encompassing Baegyangsa Temple and Baekhakbong Peak, located on Baegamsan Mountain in Jangseong County, has long been ranked among the '8 Scenic Views of Korea' for the beauty of the rock face and forest of Baekhakbong as seen from Baegyangsa's Daeungjeon Hall and Ssanggyeru Pavilion. Together with Naejangsan Mountain, Baegamsan is especially famous for its autumn foliage, and is home to a rich and diverse range of some 1,500 species of flora and fauna, including the Natural Monument 'Torreya Forest of Baegyangsa Temple, Jangseong'. Given that the origins of Baegyangsa Temple's founding are recorded in Jeong Do-jeon's 'Jeongtosa gyorugi', and that noted figures such as Yi Saek, Jeong Mong-ju, Kim In-hu, Bak Sun and Song Sun visited and composed poems and writings celebrating the scenery of Baekhakbong and Ssanggyeru Pavilion, this place has long been renowned as a scenic site for its natural landscape. In particular, even today the sight of Baekhakbong in harmony with the tiled roof of Baegyangsa's Daeungjeon Hall, and the reflection of Ssanggyeru Pavilion and Baekhakbong in the pond, is breathtaking, drawing many photographers.
