During the years, it’s been burnt to the ground a couple times.The road that leads up to Daewonsa Temple is really charming with the wandering and cascading stream that flows all the way up to the temple. To enter its lower hall, you must first step through the mouth of a dragon. The dragon’s body twists roughly 330 feet through trees and bushes.
