Temple

Highlight • Religious Site

There used to be an admission fee, but due to a revision to the law, it is now free. The restrooms are clean, and it is a good place to clean up before climbing Juwangsan Mountain.

Yongchu Falls, Juwangsan National Park

Highlight • Waterfall

For those who don't want to hear the main peak, you can go straight from Daejeonsa Temple and see only Yongyeon Falls, Jeolgu Falls, and Yongchu Valley, and you will be able to see a great view.

It shows a magnificent view. It is a landscape worthy of the name of Korea's three major rock mountains (Seoraksan, Wolchulsan, and Juwangsan).

Those stairs run into a steep rock and a rock gate that is really great. Turn back and you have a breathtaking surrounding view. A really vibrant place, not that far away from the temple below.
