Why go

Beopheungsa (Yeongwol) is a Korean Buddhist temple in Yeongwol, Gangwon-do, with traditional Korean Buddhist architecture set in a forested mountain setting. The temple has a long history within Korean Buddhism's mountain hermitage tradition, providing a quieter Buddhist experience than the major tourist temples. For travelers based in Yeongwol or driving the Gangwon mountain corridor and wanting a quiet Buddhist anchor, Beopheungsa is one of the cleaner small single picks. Pair with Yeongwol's broader heritage circuits.
