Haeinsa Temple museum

Stunning location with great views and a 15min walk to the temple beside a rocky river in the heart of the nature. Gets pretty chilly in late November. One of my two favorite temples in South Korea. Pretty crowded but worth it.

I stayed two nights here and I highly advise you to do so as well. This really allows you to see, hear and enjoy the temple. It is very interesting, beautiful, and interesting to be present during all the ceremonies. We took some long hikes and the views are amazing!

A must see attraction. Beautiful Buddhist temple housing the Tripitaka Koreana, the most complete collection of Buddhist texts, engraved on 80,000 woodblocks between 1237 and 1248.

If you want to see the blocks up close, you can book a tour online. It wasn’t crowded when we went on Sunday.

Definitely worth visiting. It’a a serene environment steeped in wonderful Korean history.

If you want to see the blocks up close, you can book a tour online. The tour is every Saturday and Sunday at 10am and 2pm with a maximum of 20 people. Guided by a monk, it’s very informative. Conservative wear is mandatory. No revealing clothes, like shorts, sandals, or tank tops (although you can wear this outside the tour). No photos when in the library. Be respectful.

I’d you don’t want to enter the library, you can go without reservations. Wasn’t crowded when I went on a weekend.

Some staircases and inclines are steep and may be a challenge for mobility impaired individuals. There are ramps for those that want to avoid stairs.

Definitely worth visiting. It’a a serene environment steeped in history.

A great temple and amazing experience visiting during a prayer session. So many buildings to walk around and view. The wood tablets are very interesting! I will definitely be back to enjoy the views and experience the temple again! Highly recommend a visit

Probably the best temple I have visited. Very interesting and the surrounding nature is absolutely stunning. If you are interested in temples and Buddhism this temple is a must. Its a massive contributor to Korean culture. This temple and its monks had a huge influence on Koreas history and culture and was regarded as one of the most important places in Silla and early Joseon dynasties. The temple also offers a temple stay

The buildings are incredibly well maintained. The grounds are shaded for the most part. There are ramps for seniors and wheelchairs. When I visited this afternoon in 34°C heat, it was still quite manageable. It is a functioning temple and monastery so some parts are blocked off. There are several scenic trails in Gayasan to reach the peak. Visitors can even stay in the temple residences. There is a town at the foot of the hill. There are buses going between West Daegu Bus Terminal and the temple. If you don't have a car, it won't be a problem.

My favourite temple in South Korea. Gorgeous setting in the mountains and absolutely worth a visit to see the Tripitaka.

Nice temple we stay for two days the atmosphere is so enchanting, calming and resourcing, the morning ceremony is awesome and you should hear the drums at 4 am

Beautifull tempel, absolute worth the visit!

Beautiful temple with amazing views. The history and culture is an experience that we will never forget.

Have a great time there, nices tviews and awsum weather.
Plenty of clean restrooms there.
Regular buses available to make it reachable at base.
Variety of food stalls, no halal food available but one can buy sweet 🌽 boiled. At store there are Also eatables. Read and eat.
Track is very beautiful and clean access.
Parking also available free of cost.

Love this place. People complain about not able to see the tripitaka koreana up close. It's still worth to visit the place in my opinion. Nice services are offered. Clean toilets, book store, cafes, souvenier shops and much more. Sorry about my bad English.

Amazong place to stay
