Sanbanggulsa Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
It is said that the peak of Baekludam in Hallasan Mountain was pulled up and thrown there, and it became Sanbangsan (395m). Unlike other mountains in Jeju, Sanbangsan has no crater. This five-meter-high rock cave on the cliff on the southwest side was originally called Sanfang Cave, but later it was called a temple because of the Buddha statues enshrined in it. Master Hye-ri (964-1053) of Goryeo (918-1392) lived here. Goryeo was a country established by Wang Jian (877-943) after unifying the divided Korean peninsula. Inside the cave, you can see Maro Island and the dragon's head-shaped coast along the coastline. On the top of the cave, water droplets drip down all year round and accumulate in the cave. The botanical area on the cliffs of Sanbangsan Mountain is designated as a nature reserve, where the unique boxwood grows in Jeju.

A rocky cave in Shanfangshan, which is dedicated to the Buddha statue, so it is called Shanfang Grottoes Temple, the scenery is beautiful, and there are not many tourists.
It feels like the architecture of this temple is very distinctive. Many Buddha statues are very new, is it built specifically to cater to Chinese tourists? The temple also houses the statue of Grandpa Land, which is really interesting.
The area here is not big, but the temple is very old architectural features inside and outside. Behind the temple is a mountain top and the scenery under the mountain is not bad. It's really interesting.
Shanfang Grottoes is a small temple at the foot of the mountain. Although it is relatively small, it is still shocked by it. There will often be locals here praying for peace.
It's funny. Many Buddha statues are new, so it's fun to cater to Chinese tourists? The temple also houses statues of Grandpa Land.
