A tranquil sanctuary hidden in the foothills of Yeongchuksan

Yeongsan Jeongsa, located at the base of Yeongchuksan Mountain in Muan-myeon, Miryang, was established in 1997 by Monk Gyeongwoo to honor his mother's filial piety. This temple holds historical significance as it was built on the site of Samjeoksa, where Monk Samyeong and the righteous monk army trained during the Imjin War. At the heart of the temple stands a seven-story Seongbo Museum, showcasing Buddhist statues from various countries, ancient Buddhist texts, and rare scriptures on each floor, offering a deep insight into Buddhist culture. Traditional structures like the Daeungjeon Hall and Jijangjeon Hall add to the serene atmosphere, while the surrounding walking trails provide a peaceful forest meditation space that calms the mind. Despite its grand exterior, the overall ambiance is simple and quiet, making it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reflect on oneself. This destination is highly recommended for those interested in Buddhist culture or anyone seeking a tranquil space to unwind. 📍233 Garye-ro, Muan-myeon, Miryang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do (1285 Garye-ri)
