Seoraksan Sinheungsa Temple

This a Beautiful temple next to the mountains. There are several buildings on the site and you should take time to visit all of them. It is definitely worth stopping by on your way to Ulsanbawi rock. If you are there at 10AM, you will have the chance to see a monk singing while praying.

The biggest temple in the national park and one that has quite a long history related to Seoraksan. It's also on the pathway to the most popular trek (to the exposed granite tops) so its worth a stop here.

The scenery is gorgeous. Recommend a quick look around if you're heading into the mountains.

Famous temple here! I didn’t realize but it’s actually located at the bottom of the mountain (you don’t have to take the cable car up to reach the temple). It’s nice as you can see mountain view from temple grounds. It’s also my first time seeing a temple blanketed with snow. What a nice view! It was a nice walk around :) Free entry, and the grounds a really quiet and serene. Not crowded too

Along with the mountain track, this is the ultimate place to visit and get some spiritual vibe. Typical 17C style of Korean Architecture but the environment is surprisingly cozy and inspiring.

One of the most popular temple/hike attractions in the fall of S. Korea and it did not disappoint. We just missed the height of the fall colors but was told it's beautiful on all 4 seasons and the winter scenery is amazingly serene! As popular as it was the driving into the park was very long and slow so we ended up parking lower and walked an additional mile each way. Hiking up to Ulsanbawi is challenging but the views from the top are worth the trip. No longer required a ticket to enter.

Absolutely stunning !!!! We we on a cruise around Japan, which had one detour stop in South Korea. We had great weather to explore this incredible national park. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Take the cable car up to a great vantahpoint from which you can get an arial view of the national gem. You can also pay your respects at the base of an enormous Buddha and visit an ancient temple. There are lots if hiked into the mountains, but we only had a couple of hours to explore. You could spend a few days in this park. We only got to scratch the surface of what it had to offer. The gardens are spectacular and beautifully maintained. This was a great way to spend what little time we had to explore a patch of South Korea.

One of the most beautiful temples in Korea. You could enjoy the essence of the Buddhism there.
