Yonggungsa Temple is located in the same region as the Incheon International Airport and sits on the northeastern slopes of Baegunsan Mountain. During the Silla Kingdom (about 1,300 years ago), the temple was named ‘Baegunsa’ by King Munmu, in reference to the temple’s mountain home. During the Joseon dynasty, it was the temporary residence of Heungseon Daewongun (1820-1898, a politician and father of King Gojong), who stayed at the temple for 10 years praying for his son to ascend to the throne. When his son was finally crowned king, Heungseon Daewongun rebuilt the temple and changed the name to Yonggungsa.

The temple consists of various buildings such as Gwaneumjeon (re-constructed by Heungseon Daewongun), Yosachae (home of the monks), Chilseonggak, and Yonghwanggak. In Yosachae, the writings of Heungseon Daewongun are hung on the wall and recently, an 11 meter-high statue of Maitreya was put in place. In front of the temple are two 1,300 year-old zelkova trees.

Seongmodo Shrubby Sea-blite Habitat is a habitat where a colony of shrubby sea-blite flourishes on tidal flats. Situated on the route to Minmeoru Beach, accessible via the Seongmodaegyo Bridge, this area is known for the robust growth of seepweed, which forms colonies in tidal flats or areas with high salinity. From September to mid-October, the landscape transforms with vibrant reddish-pink flowers, often referred to as the "fall foliage of the sea."
