Cliffside Hermitage: A Healing Scenic View at Munsuam Temple in Goseong

Located at 808 Museon 2-gil, Sang-ri, Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Munsuam Temple is a thousand-year-old temple founded by the monk Uisang during the reign of King Seongdeok of Silla. The temple offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Namhae archipelago. Perched on a cliffside halfway up steep stairs, the walk to the temple itself feels purifying. Between the rocky walls, you can find a mysterious natural stone formation resembling the figure of Bodhisattva Manjusri. From the main hall, the view of small islands scattered across the horizon and the dramatic cliffs inspires awe, making you exclaim, "Such scenery exists!" The forest trail, accompanied by the sound of sea breezes and rustling leaves, provides a rhythmic pause for the soul. 📍808 Museon 2-gil, Sang-ri, Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do (Munsuam Temple) ⏰ No admission or parking fees / A 5–10 minute uphill walk from the parking lot
