Explanation
Haeunsa Temple, nestled on the slopes of Geumosan Mountain in Gumi, offers convenient access owing to the opening of the Geumosan cable car. Originally founded as Daehyeolsa Temple towards the end of the Silla period, it underwent significant reconstruction after its destruction during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. The temple was rechristened as Haeunsa Temple in 1956, coinciding with the construction of Daeungjeon Hall. This hall is a sanctuary for the Seated Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, sculpted in plaster. It also hosts Stone Arhat statues, believed to be the work of Japanese artisans during their occupation of Korea.
