Cheonggoksa Temple on Wolya Mountain, Jinju

Enjoying the Last of Autumn

A Famous Maple Viewing Spot

If you want to fully embrace the autumn scenery, I recommend Cheonggoksa Temple, a famous maple viewing spot in Jinju. Unlike flashy tourist destinations, this temple is nestled deep in the valleys of Wolya Mountain, harmonizing with nature and offering a serene atmosphere. Why not visit with your loved ones at the tail end of autumn and immerse yourselves in the season's beauty?

Cheonggoksa Temple may not be large, but it has all the basic components of a traditional temple. It's nestled in nature, providing visitors with comfort and peace of mind. The entire temple blends seamlessly with the autumn colors of Wolya Mountain, allowing you to fully experience the tranquil atmosphere of the temple.

Explore Cheonggoksa Temple and feel the beauty of a traditional Korean temple.

Daeungjeon (Main Hall): The central Dharma hall of Cheonggoksa Temple, enshrining Sakyamuni Buddha. It is a central space where you can feel the beauty of traditional architecture.

Yosachae (Monks' Quarters) and Small Pavilions: Used as spaces for ascetic practice, characterized by their small and neat feel. You can feel the unique peaceful energy of the temple in these small spaces.

I personally recommend visiting early in the morning. If you visit early in the morning, you can fully feel the serene temple atmosphere of Cheonggoksa Temple along with the misty valley scenery. Enjoy the late autumn morning in a special and mysterious atmosphere.

What I liked most was that there was a place where you could drink tea for free. A cup of warm tea melts away the late autumn chill and allows you to feel the relaxed atmosphere of the temple more deeply.

There are well-maintained walking trails around the temple. These trails are perfect for visitors to meditate and walk in nature. Walking along the path covered with fallen late autumn leaves is healing. Purify your mind by breathing in the fresh air of Wolya Mountain.

I recommend taking a late autumn healing trip to Cheonggoksa Temple.
