Bonghwa Cheongnyangsa Temple (청량사(봉화))

199-152, Cheongnyangsan-gil, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Located in Cheongnyangsan Mountain Provincial Park, Cheongnyangsa Temple was built by the great monk Wonhyo in 663, the 3rd year of King Munmu of the Silla Kingdom. According to the principles of feng shui, the area is an ideal place for a temple – with the 12 mountain peaks surrounding the temple like the petals of a lotus flower. The temple is home to two precious historical remains; one is the board of Yuribojeon that King Gongmin of Goryeo wrote upon and the other is Jibul. Yuribojeon is the building where Yaksa-yorae-bul (the Medicine Buddha Statute) is housed and Jibul is a Buddha statute made of paper that was painted with gold. At the back of the temple is Bosalbong Peak looking out towards Cheongnyangsan Mountain. A 30-minute walk along the hiking trail will lead the hikers to Eungjinjeon, a hermitage with a beautiful view where the great monk Wonhyo once stayed. Behind Eungjinjeon stands Geumtapbong Peak and the sheer cliffs below. The peak was named Geumtapbong (meaning ‘golden pagoda’ in Korean) since it looks like a nine-story pagoda with pine trees growing around the base. In the autumn, the beautiful red, gold and orange hues of the maple trees are a true sight to behold.

Bongjeongsa Temple [UNESCO World Heritage] (봉정사 [유네스코 세계문화유산])

222, Bongjeongsa-gil, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Bongjeongsa Temple is believed to have been built in 672 by the Great Buddist Monk Uisang. However, other documents seem to state that Neungin Daedeuk, a disciple of Monk Uisang, established the temple. During the Korean War, many documents related to the temple were destroyed, so much of the history has been lost. In 1972, while reconstruction work was being done on Geungnakjeon Hall, records were discovered stating the hall was repaired in 1363. This discovery gave concrete evidence that Geungnakjeon Hall is the oldest wooden building in the nation.

Bongmyeongsan Suspension Bridge (봉명산 출렁다리)

27 Oncheongangbyeon 1-gil, Mungyeong-eup, Mungyeong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Bongmyeongsan Suspension Bridge, completed in December 2023, stretches across the slopes of Bongmyeongsan Mountain at 690 meters above sea level. It’s about a 400-meter, 15-minute walk from the trailhead to the bridge. At 1.5 meters wide and 160 meters long, it offers sweeping views of Mungyeong-eup surrounded by mountains. The bridge sways with every step, and the sensation is even sharper when the wind blows. The variety show "2 Days & 1 Night" once filmed a game mission here where the cast ate tteokguk (rice cake soup). It takes a few hundred steps to get to the suspension bridge, so it's advised to wear comfortable shoes. There’s a pavilion along the way where visitors can take a break.
