Cheonwangsa Temple is set among the beautiful scenery of the Aheunahopgol Valley
Cheonwangsa Temple is a temple located below Geumbonggok, part of the Aheunahopgol Valley consisting of numerous peaks and valleys east of Hallasan Mountain.
It was first founded in 1955 and is currently registered as a diocese of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. Though relatively new, the temple was designated a traditional temple in 1994 (Preservation of Traditional Buddhist Temples Act).
Just behind the main Daeungjeon Hall, is a large rock called Yongbawi Rock. On the left corner of the yard, a standing rock is superbly blended with the dense forest to create a scenic view.
If you follow the stream next to the temple, you can see the Seonnyeo Falls, the only waterfall within the Hallasan Mountain area, and there is a natural spring that flows at the entrance of the temple.
The foliage under the rocky cliffs in autumn is particularly spectacular.
#효리네민박 에서 나온 #천왕사 가는 길목이에요 눈이 올줄 모르고 찾아갔지만, #한라산 근처인지 눈이 내리더라구요! 그래서 생각지도 못한 #겨울제주 를 담을 수 있었어요. 하얀세상을 찍을 수 있을까 생각하고 간 제주도 였는데 변덕스러운 제주날씨가 참 고마웠던 하루였습니다.
