Jikjisa Temple (직지사), located at the foot of Mt.
Hwangaksan in Gimcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, was constructed in 418 (the 2nd year of King Nulji’s reign, Silla Kingdom).
This temple is in perfect harmony with the nearby valley and pine forest.
The foliage in fall is particularly breathtaking.
It features Birojeon Hall (also known as ‘Cheonbuljeon Hall’), in which approximately 1,000 Buddha statues are enshrined, along with a thousand year old arrowroot.
Iljumun Gate, Daeungjeon Hall (one of the most famous architectural structures of the Joseon Dynasty) and a 1.63m-tall Seated Stone Buddhist Statue (Treasures No.
319) from the Unified Silla Period, can also be found on the temple grounds.
* Hwangaksan Mountain Mt.
Hwangaksan (1,111m in elevation), located in the Sobaeksan Mountains, should be called ‘Hwanghaksan’ because of the many cranes that reside on this mountain.
However, it is written as ‘Hwangaksan’ on the Jikjisa Temple tablet and in the Taengniji Records (택리지).
This mountain is famous for its thick pine forests, pristine streams, beautiful fall foliage and splendid snowscapes.
