Samcheonsa was founded in 661 during the Silla period and Jingwansa in 1011,
during the Goryeo period. Seungabong Peak, the highest point on the trail, is
named after Seungasa Temple that sits beneath it. The temples along the trail offer rest and peace of mind.
· The path down from Samobawi Rock to Jingwansa Temple is extremely steep. Hikers are advised to wear gloves and descend slowly while firmly grasping the hand rails and cables.
· Beware of steep cliffs along the descending path in the valley from Jingwansa Temple.
The flagstone in front of the rock-carved standing Buddha statue at Samcheonsa Temple and the tea house on the Jingwansa grounds are great for resting and recharging one’s strength.

Founded by the Buddhist monk of Silla Wonhyo in 661, this temple gets its name from the legend saying it housed more than 3,000 practicing monks ( samcheon means 3,000 in Korean). Engraved on a giant boulder to the back of Daeungjeon Hall is a standing Sakyamuni Buddha statue believed to date back to the early Goryeo Dynasty.
This 567-meter-high peak stands between Samobawi Rock and Munsubong Peak on Bibong Ridge. East of Seungabong are the peaks Baegundae, Insubong, Munsubong, and Bohyeonbong and west are Samobawi Rock and Bibong. The splendid view from the top makes the peak a popular photo spot.
This 1,000-year-old temple was built in 1011 by King Hyeonjong, the 8th monarch of the Goryeo Dynasty. Together with Buramsa in the east, Sammaksa in the south and Seungasa in the north, Jingwansa is one of the four great temples in the Seoul region. Jingwansa is also famous at home and abroad for its temple food developed by its abbot Gyeho.
