Pleasant walk to reach the temple and surrounding buildings. I came here several years ago and was amazing. However a lot of work has and still is taking place here. This spoils the look and feel of the place. Some of the new permanent modern structures have been built to make money out of the visitors. This would be fine if they had not built them so close. A real pity. Worth a visit if in the area as does not take long.

Such a great experience, so peaceful , a must visit . one of the oldest temples in Korea Great temple architecture. Some of the oldest buildings in Korea. A lovely walk through woods to reach the temples makes it even more agreeable.

Bongjeongsa Temple is one of the most renowned places not only in Andong, but also in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. It is one of the handful of temples in Korea with the longest history and the most beautiful temple. Bongjeongsa contains Geungnakjeon Hall, which is the oldest wooden building in Korea. Carrying on the traditions of Buddhism, Bongjeongsa can demonstrate the unqiue appeal of mountain temples, which provide people with training of the mind and soul and a chance to relax and find serenity. For this reason, it has been drewing a lot of interest and visitors since long ago. In the Goryeo Dynasty, King Taejo and King Gongmin visited the temple. More recently, in 1999, Bongjeong garnered global attention when Queen Elizabeth II of England visited the Andong Village and Bongjeongsa Temple to gain insight into Korean Buddhism culture.

Old and beautiful temple and well preserved.

(Translated by Google) Seven of Korea's Sansa temples were listed as World Heritage Sites by the 42nd UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Bahrain on June 30, 2018. There are seven temples listed as World Heritage Sites: Beopjusa Temple in Boeun, Magoksa Temple in Gongju, Seonamsa Temple in Suncheon, Daeheungsa Temple in Haenam, Bongjeongsa Temple in Andong, Buseoksa Temple in Yeongju, and Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan. To stand in front of the world's cultural heritage, Bongjeongsa Temple, Daeungjeon, you must pass the stone steps under the Manseruin Deokfiru. The end of the stone steps below Deokfiru is low, so if you don't lower your head, you can stab your head, so you can only climb up the courtyard if you bow your head naturally. Bongjeongsa Temple, named because it looks as if a phoenix stayed at the foot of Cheondeungsan Mountain, was founded by Neungin Daedeok, a disciple of the Usangdaedae in the Silla Dynasty, and several monks including Wongam and Anchong repaired it six times, but the roof leaked and the foundation stone was torn down in 1363 (King Kongmin 12), the discovery of Sangryangmun, which is said to have been reclaimed by Daeseonsa, Yongsusa, confirmed that Bongjeongsa Geukrakjeon is the oldest existing wooden structure. It is important to note that it is the oldest of the existing wooden structures, but it has been rebuilt as a baeheulrim pillar boasting the graceful beauty of Geuknakjeon at Bongjeongsa Temple. Yeongsanam, located at the foot of the mountain next to Daeungjeon, is a famous hermitage where the films'Why Dharma Goed East' and'Naratmalsami' were filmed. In the palm-sized garden in front of Yeongsanam, it is known as'Korea's Top 10 Gardens', cultivated with Korean wildflowers including low-key pine trees. The brush strokes on the Uhwaru signboard on the floor of Yeongsanam Hall of Interest led to Ilpilhuiji as if watching a seungmu’s dance. I'm going to empty my complicated head for a while from the agony of the world. (Original) 우리나라 산사 중 7곳의 사찰이 2018. 6. 30. 바레인에서 열린 제42차 유네스코 세계유산 위원회에서 세계문화유산으로 등재되었습니다. 세계문화유산에 등재된 사찰은 보은 법주사, 공주 마곡사, 순천 선암사, 해남 대흥사, 안동 봉정사, 영주 부석사, 양산 통도사 등 7곳 입니다. 세계인의 문화유산 봉정사 대웅전 앞에 서려면 만세루인 덕휘루 아래로 난 돌계단을 지나야 합니다. 덕휘루 아래로 난 돌계단 끝부분은 높이가 낮아 고개를 숙이지 않으면 머리를 찌을 수 있을 것 같아 자연스럽게 머리를 숙여야만 안마당을 올라 설 수 있습니다. 천등산 산기슭에 마치 봉황이 머물러 있는 듯하여 이름 지어진 봉정사는 신라때 의상대사의 제자인 능인대덕이 창건하였는데 원감, 안충 등 여러 스님들이 여섯 차례에 걸쳐 중수하였으나 지붕이 새고 초석이 허물어져 1363년 (공민왕 12년)에 용수사 대선사 축담이 중수하였다는 상량문이 발견됨으로써 봉정사 극락전이 현존하는 목조건물 중 가장 오래된 건축물임이 확인되었습니다. 현존하는 목조건물 중 가장 오래되었다는 사실도 중요하지만 봉정사 극락전의 유려한 미를 자랑하는 배흘림기둥으로 새워졌고 단청 또한 이미 오래전에 벗겨져 목재기둥의 질감을 그대로 노출하여 옛스러움을 더해줍니다. 대웅전 옆 산자락에 자리잡은 영산암은 영화 '달마가 동쪽으로 간 까닭은'과 '나랏말싸미'를 촬영한 장소로 유명한 암자입니다. 영산암 앞 손바닥 크기의 뜰에는 키 낮은 소나무를 비롯하여 한국의 야생화로 가꾸어진 '한국의 10대 정원'으로 알려져 있습니다. 영산암 관심당 마루 위에 걸린 우화루 현판의 붓놀림은 승무의 춤사위를 보는 듯 일필휘지로 이어졌는데 현판의 '우화'는 부처님이 영산에서 대중에게 설파할 때 꽃비가 내렸다는데서 유래되었다고 합니다. 속세의 번뇌로 복잡한 머리를 잠시 비우고 갑니다.

We only visited here because we happened to be staying at Bongjeongsagil 200 Guesthouse just down the road. It was really great though, a really old (the oldest wooden building in Korea) and magnificent temple in an incredibly peaceful part of nature. We saw two wild deer, a woodpecker and a number of other birds here during our short visit. A couple of other people appeared to be there solely for the bird watching.

Really Nice place. I spent a night there and it is really beautifull and calm. The ceremony are interresting to see (you can also do the morning pray if you want. It is really early though.). Food is vegetarian only.

Amazing and a beautiful hermitage

Great temple architecture. Some of the oldest buildings in Korea. A lovely walk through woods to reach the temples makes it even more agreeable.

UNESCO World Heritage alongside 6 other temples in South Korea

Entry was 2000 won for adult. You can drive up the hill instead of walking. Place with long and important history but as a tourist I didn't enjoy it too much. Similar to many other temples. Also there was construction of the gate going on so maybe that influenced the experience. At least it was almost empty when we visited at noon. It's not close to any big attractions so unless you appreciate history and small details about temples, I'd skip it.

Nice stroll path. Historical. Nature. Mountain hike course.

We had a wonderful visit with the monk who led us in a meditation. It was a lovely experience

Spectacular location specially in winter amidst the snow...

Worth a visit if you are in the area or if you want to pray specifically to there. If you do want to visit, ensure that you map a few other things around the area to make the time worth while. If not pretty much the same as all the other temples.

One of the “Sansa” buddhist temples in Korea recognized as UNESCO heritage site, Bongjeongsa is a small temple that is serene and quiet. Located not too high up on the mountain, if you arrive here with a car you can drive up to the entrance. Otherwise, the walk up to the temple from the gate is not too far either. There is no entry fee anymore (it’s been removed by recent law change), so free to tour around. However, as others say unless you specifically came here for a reason or wanted to see this temple, I would skip it. Not too much to see, and similar to other temples. Buseoksa temple (부석사) is more grandeur and larger than this temple, recommend going there if you want to see a temple.

It's under construction.. A Lot of dust and noise but many people. In the 극락전, some people pray for the wishes, so not easy to look around inside. Maybe get another chance to visit again without notmany people, after the renovation. .

We were lucky enough to have tea with the head monk. His stories were wonderful.

I heard that it's selected as UNESCO world heritage, and indeed it is a beautiful traditional temple that I am fascinated. It has so much history in it so worth visiting

Great place, historical temple..

The oldest wooden building, temple in Korea.

Good

Beautiful, great ambience.

Beautiful temple and surroundings.

Great place

Old temple with long history in bad management. Very quite.

V cold and uphill walking required

Classic Buddha temple and full of histories

A bit disappointing, large site with different areas for temple and Meditation stay. The main temple is very small but beautiful.

(Translated by Google) This is an old reflection I found with acquaintances I met after a long time on the second Saturday of November. I first thought that it would have been nice to visit around October when the autumn leaves were blooming. The parking lot is up to 3 parking lot to the left of the ticket office, so there was no inconvenience in parking. The temple stairs are high and old, so it may be dangerous for the elderly to walk, so it would be better to maintain it with straight stone. (Original) 11월 둘째주 토요일 오랜만에 만난 지인들과 찾은 오래된 고찰이다. 단풍이 들은 10월경에 방문했으면 좋았겠다는 생각이 먼저 들었다. 주차장은 매표소 왼쪽으로 3주차장까지 있어서 주차에는 불편함이 없었지만 봉정사 바로 아랫측까지 차량이 진입할수 있어 몸이 불편한 사람들은 주차장을 이용하지 말고 입장권 매표후 우측으로 해서 봉정사 아래까지 운행하면 좋겠다. 사찰 계단은 높고 오래되어 노약자들이 걷는데 위험할수 있으므로 반듯한 석재로 정비하는것이 좋을듯 하겠다.
