| Description |
Bomunsa temple is located on Seokmodo Island. It is said to have been built by
Silla Queen SeonDeok in 635. When you enter Bomunsa Temple, the first thing you
see is an old Chinese juniper tree that is 600 years old. Behind the tree is a
natural cave called Seokgulamja, a small Buddhist cell. Seokgulamja is made from
a huge rock, and though the entrance is small, once you enter the inside is
quite large. There is also a large millstone beside the temple, and it is about
twice the size of regular millstones. It was said to be used by monks for
cooking and is designated as a Cultural Monument. A must-see item at Bomunsa
Temple is the Ma-aeseokbukjwa Statue and the Nunseop Rock. The Nunseop Rock has
the 10 meters high Ma-aeseokbukjwa Statue on it. The West Sea from here is
widely known to be quite beautiful. Seokmodo Island where Bomunsa Temple is
located is also very famous for its sandy beach, and is often used as a
background set for film shoots. The mountains and the sea, island also blend
together harmoniously, and the place is especially famous for the beautiful
sunrise and seashore.
