Daeheungsa Temple )

Daeheungsa Temple, located on Duryunsan Mountain, is said to have been founded by Monk Ado in the 22nd year of King Seong of Baekje. In 2018, it was inscribed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List as part of the “Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Monasteries in Korea.” Also known as a temple where the spirit of Buddhism for national protection remains alive, Daeheungsa Temple served as the main base for monk soldiers led by Seosan Daesa during the Japanese invasions of Korea. Later, Seon Master Choui, who believed that the truth of the Buddha and the joy of meditation could be found in tea, built Iljiam Hermitage in the valley of Daeheungsa Temple.Source: Korea Tourism Organization TourAPI
