Information Introduction Naksansa Temple is located 4 km north of Naksan Beach, and boasts a 1,300-year history
It is a temple built by Ui-Sang, the ambassador of the 30th King of Silla Period (57 BC- 935 AD), and inside is the Seven Story Stone Tower, Dongjong, Hongyaemun, together with several other cultural assets
It was named Naksansa Temple by Ui-Sang, at the spot where he learned the prayer Gwansae-eumbosal from Bosal, after he returned from studying abroad in the Chinese Tang Kingdom
It was rebuilt several times afterwards, and the current building was erected in 1953
You can get to Naksansa Temple by passing through Iljumun and Hongyaemun Gates
When you enter the temple from Hongyaemun Gate, you can see black bamboo trees and tiled earthen walls on either side of the sanctuary
North of Naksan Beach, beside the copper bell is a back door, with a path that leads to Uisangdae Pavilion and Hongryeonam
Uisangdae is a pavilion built on top of a cliff by the sea, and was built where Ui-sang used to sit and meditate
Hongryeonam is known as a small Buddhist temple, built above a stone cave by Ui-sang
Under the sanctuary floor there is a 10 cm hole through which you can peak through to view the sea
Past Uisangdae Pavilion, up the path on the hill at Sinseonbong, there is a stone statue of Buddha called Haesugwaneumsang
It is the largest of its kind in the Orient, and can be seen from as far as Mulchi Harbor
