Beopjusa Temple and Surroundings in Songnisan Mountain

This scenic site centres on Beopjusa Temple and links Cheonwangbong Peak and Gwaneumbong Peak of Songnisan Mountain. Songnisan Mountain originally had nine peaks and was called Gubongsan, but it has been known as Songnisan since the Silla period. Beopjusa Temple is a great temple founded in 553 by the monk Uisin, who brought Buddhist scriptures back from India. It combines beautiful natural heritage with long-established cultural heritage, bringing together the national treasures Twin-Lion Stone Lantern, Palsangjeon Hall and Stone Lotus Basin of Beopjusa Temple, alongside nearby Samnyeonsanseong Fortress, a historic site, and Jeongipumsong, a pine tree designated a natural monument.
