Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is on the north-east side of Busan. The Buddhist temple was built on the rocky shore, which is quite unique as most temples are built in the mountains. The temple has a long history which dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty in 1376. The temple was destroyed during the Japanese Occupation of Korea, but was reconstructed in 1970 taking great care to use the original colors and designs.
