Busan, South Korea
Beomeosa Temple

Also known as the ‘Temple where the fish from Nirvana Play’, visit to discover its hidden treasures.

Constructed by the venerable monk Ui Sang in 678, the Beomeosa Temple is located at the edge of the famous Geumjeongsan Mountain in Busan. Marvel at the exquisite architecture of the Joseon Dynasty – the Daeungjeon Hall and IIjumun Gate. See the magnificent three-storey pagoda with four pillars that was built in the 9th century, or perhaps meditate peacefully in the splendid pavilions.


Looking for a quiet retreat, the Beomeosa Temple even offers templestay programs where one can discover more about Buddhism. It is also highly recommended to visit in late spring to catch the wonderful seas of wild wisteria, which paint the temple in soft lavender hues, truly a heavenly sight for all!
