Mubongsa Temple (무봉사)

Mubongsa, meaning “a sacred place where phoenix used to dance,” is a small Buddhist temple. It is conveniently located near one of the Miryang’s top attractions, Yeongnamnu Pavilion. Perched high on the cliffs above the upper reaches of the river is Aranggak Pavilion. A flight of stairs from this pavilion lead to the famous Yeongnamnu Pavilion and Mubongsa Temple. Enshrining a stone seated Buddha statue designated as Treasure No. 493, the temple has long been a popular site among poets and painters for its picturesque landscape.
