Haedong Yonggung Temple - South Korea’s Most Beautiful Temple - 2023
Haedong Yonggunsa, or Haedong Yonggung Temple, is one of the most impressive Buddhist temples in South Korea.
Haedong Yonggungsa is famous for its picturesque seaside location. Busan’s “Temple on the Coast” is also a hot spot for watching the sunrise on the first day of the year.
The temple has a long history going all the way back to 1376, during the Goryeo Dynasty, when it was built by the great Buddhist teacher Naong Hyegeun.
It was originally called Bomun Temple and was dedicated to Gwanseum-bosal, the Goddess of Compassion, whose large statue you can see there today.
Bomun temple was partially destroyed in a fire during the Japanese invasion of Korea from 1592 to 1598, and then abandoned. Some of what can be seen today dates to the 1930s, when the temple was reestablished by monks from Tongdosa, and a lot of it has been added in the last 20 years and looks very new.
It wasn’t until 1974 that Bomun Temple was renamed Haedong Yonggungsa, which means “Korean Dragon Palace Temple.” The name comes from a vision experienced by Jeong-am, the head monk at the time, of the Goddess of Mercy riding a dragon, during meditation.
Haedong Yonggungsa is in Gijang-gun (Gijang county) on the northeast coast of Busan city, six kilometers northeast of Haeundae, the city’s most famous beach.
The temple really looks like a post card and is popular with people coming here just for photos. It’s not over large so you can see the whole place in an hour or two. There are also many shops selling snacks and souvenirs as you come in.
