What travelers say:

It is a Buddhist temple in the heart of the city, as most Buddhist temples are found in the mountains. This temple helped reform Buddhism in South Korea in the modern period. Though the building dates back to 1395, it was reconstructed in 1936. Outside the temple are trees over 500 years old. The architecture is based on traditional Buddhist temple architecture and palace architecture. The temple also had painted fish, representing one of the incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. On Buddha's Birthday in May, the temple has lotus lanterns and other traditional objects representing people's wishes. The temple was beautiful on the inside and out. I also loved the garden surrounding it.
