Information
Daewonsa Temple (대원사) dates back to 548 A.D., when it was first constructed by Monk Yeongi.It is located at eastern foot of Jirisan Mountain. 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. Apart from the colorful dragon, the main temple is stunning: the backdrop of the mountains, the peaceful quiet, and the two dragon heads that guard the temple make it a unique temple experience. It’s an ideal place to spend a beautiful and calm moment.
