The experience
Headquarters of the Cheontae Order, stacking ~50 halls up a narrow Sobaeksan valley to a five-story golden main hall. Free meals for all visitors and a templestay program.
Three hours from Seoul in Danyang backcountry, off the standard temple circuit international itineraries follow.
