View original description
Cheongpyeongsa Temple is a Buddhist temple with 1,000 years of tradition, located at Obongsan Mountain. Originally established as Baegamseonwon Temple in 973, the temple changed its name several times, went through construction works, and has become the current Cheongpyeongsa Temple. Yi Ja-hyeon, a scholar of the Goryeo period, built a garden here by keeping its natural topography after he left his government post. In this area, there is a pond that was built during the Goryeo period and has preserved its original form. While many artifacts remain intact, many cultural heritages have also disappeared over the years and during the Korean War as well. The Geungnakjeon Hall was recovered in 1975, and Munsuwongi Stone in 2008.
Visitors also explore National Center for Forest Activities Chuncheon (국립춘천숲체원), Chuncheon Soyangho Lake (소양호 (춘천)) and Soyang Dam (소양강댐) near this location.
