Seoraksan Essentials

Seoraksan National Park features diverse landscapes ranging from the jagged granite ridges of Ulsanbawi to the serene valley of Biseondae. This collection covers key cultural landmarks like the 14.6-meter Great Unification Buddha and the ancient Sinheungsa Temple. Natural highlights include the multi-tiered Towangseong Waterfall and the unique spherical boulder of Heundeulbawi. For panoramic views without the steep climb, the Seorak Cable Car provides rapid access to the 13th-century ruins of Gwongeumseong Fortress.

Buddhist Temples

Seoraksan National Park houses several significant Buddhist sites that reflect Korea's spiritual heritage. Sinheungsa serves as the head temple of the Jogye Order, featuring the massive bronze Tongil Daebul statue. Higher up, Gyejoam is a unique cave hermitage situated beneath the Heundeulbawi rocking stone. Bongjeongam, the highest pilgrimage site in the park at 1,244 meters, enshrines Buddha’s relics in a Silla-era pagoda. In the Osaek valley, Mangwolsa and Seongguksa provide quieter retreats, with the latter housing a designated three-story stone pagoda from the Unified Silla period.
