One of the eight greatest scenic areas in the east of Korea, Naksansa Temple has served for centuries as a place of prayer and meditation in pristine natural surroundings. Situated on top of the mountain of the same name, it was built thanks to a Buddhist monk who, after a several days’ meditation, claimed he had seen a goddess who told him to erect a temple there. The spot where he used to meditate now houses a pavilion. Take a walk around the temple and enjoy the view of the sea and the coastline.

It's simply the best place to go. Nice 90 minutes walk here and there. You will love it! I visit here once a year. It's a must. No brainer

Oceanic view from the temple is priceless. Don't expect tranquil and peaceful vibe here. You get to see so many tourists.
