Cheoneunsa Temple
천은사
A tranquil old temple on the way to Seongsamchi, with a rainbow bridge spanning the stream and a serene pine-lined trail around the lakeside.
Cheoneunsa Temple lies in Gwangui-myeon, Gurye-gun. Founded in 828, it is counted together with Hwaeomsa and Ssangyesa as one of Jirisan's three great temples. In front of the temple, the Rainbow Bridge spans the stream, and beside it stands the Suhong Pavilion, forming a classic scene. Outside the temple, next to the reservoir, an approximately 3 km “Path of Coexistence” loops around the lake through quiet pine forest. The temple sits beside Route 861, which leads to Seongsamchi and Nogodan, so it is easy to visit before or after a hike. Admission is free.
