[2025 Yangyang Attraction] Travel Guide for Naksansa (Updated Jan)

Naksansa Temple offers beautiful views and a stunning temple! I visited for a historical tour because it's the place where the famous monk Uisang, whom I learned about in history books, stayed. Below is an explanation from Naver Encyclopedia: Uisang prayed for 27 days on the cliff to the east of Naksansa Temple to meet Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but he could not fulfill his wish and was about to throw himself into the sea. At that moment, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva faintly appeared in a cave by the sea and handed him a wish-fulfilling jewel and a crystal rosary, saying, "You cannot see my whole body, but if you go up the mountain for several hundred steps, you will find two bamboo trees. Go there." That place is said to be the site of Wontongbojeon Hall. There are also auxiliary buildings such as Uisangdae Pavilion and Hongryeonam Hermitage, and this area is designated as Historic Site No. 495. It's great to take photos in front of the Haesu Gwaneum Statue and the sea view from Uisangdae Pavilion. Truly one of the Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong. 👍👍 Parking costs 4,000 KRW, and admission is free. There is a space at the entrance and halfway through where you can enjoy free coffee and cool dandelion tea, making it a nice place to take a break. It seemed like the staff were constantly cleaning to keep the temple clean. As of July 24, it was hot and I sweated a lot, but it was a nice walk.😉

#Ho-kang-seu My visit to the Nexen Temple (Naksansa Temple) in Korea was special. The temple is located on a hill overlooking the East Sea, offering stunning views. Walking through the old buildings and quiet gardens was a peaceful and quiet experience. The Buddhist statues and subtle architectural details reflect the rich history and culture. I was amazed by the natural beauty of the place and enjoyed the spiritual atmosphere. Visiting the monumental Haesu Gwaneum statue was an unforgettable moment overlooking the sea with stunning views. The temple is an ideal place to meditate and relax, and gave me the opportunity to connect with both nature and culture in Korea. The return was filled with quiet memories and spiritual beauty.

We visited Yangyang Shi to check out this unique temple located along the coast of South Korea. There are only 2 temples located near the coast in South Korea and this is one of them. Here you can see Guanyin, a Bodhisattva associated with compassion. She is the East Asian representation of Avalokiteśvara. The climbs up to the temple was gentle. There were many elderlies as well. Going to the top of the temple gives you a birds eye view of the coast of Yangyang. Feels very serene, good place for some fresh air! #temples #yangyang #southkorea #naksan
