The site of a giant bronze Buddha statue, this temple was originally built in A.D. 553, in the 14th year of Shilla King Jo-Heung. The buildings on-site have been destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout its sordid history, but now it houses the country's only remaining five-story wooden pagoda, the Daeungbojeon. When you enter the park, follow the yellow dirt road to the Orisup Trail. Pass the trail and go through a grove of pine trees and you will come to the temple's main gate. The Seokryeongji (Lotus Flower Pond) is most beautiful when the flowers are in bloom in the autumn. The complex also holds the Ssangsajasekdeung (Twin Lion Stone Lantern) and the Maaeyeorae Uisang, the Maayerae sitting Buddha carved into a rock. But, of course, what everyone is here to see is the 33m-tall (108-ft.) bronze standing Buddha, which was built here in 1990.
