Cheonwangsa Temple is set among the beautiful scenery of the Aheunahopgol Valley 

Cheonwangsa Temple is a temple located below Geumbonggok, part of the Aheunahopgol Valley consisting of numerous peaks and valleys east of Hallasan Mountain.

It was first founded in 1955 and is currently registered as a diocese of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. Though relatively new, the temple was designated a traditional temple in 1994 (Preservation of Traditional Buddhist Temples Act).

Just behind the main Daeungjeon Hall, is a large rock called Yongbawi Rock. On the left corner of the yard, a standing rock is superbly blended with the dense forest to create a scenic view.

If you follow the stream next to the temple, you can see the Seonnyeo Falls, the only waterfall within the Hallasan Mountain area, and there is a natural spring that flows at the entrance of the temple.

The foliage under the rocky cliffs in autumn is particularly spectacular.
