[2025 Gimcheon-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Jikjisa Temple (Updated Jun)

These days, the days are getting longer, so you can enjoy your trip until the evening, and I'm introducing a night view spot that's great for the last course of your trip. Gimcheon is famous for Jikjisa Temple, but you can't enter in the evening. In that case, you can wait for the Peace Tower to turn on while taking a walk at the Samyeongdae Park right next to it! It turns on around 8 o'clock or when it gets dark, and the atmosphere is really the best✨️You'll be captivated by the exotic yet wonderful scenery. It's perfect to take a big lap around the park before the sun sets! It's on the outskirts, so it's not hot in the evening and it's cool, so it's great for a walk💛 - - 📍Samyeongdae Park Peace Tower 🧭94-3, Unsu-ri, Daehang-myeon, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongbuk ℹ️There are cafes and accommodations #Night view spot #Gimcheon travel

Entering the Jikjisa Sunrise Gate where the spiritual energy of the mountain flows down, the phytoncide scent is so nice... Many worshippers gathered inside Jikjisa because it is Buddha's birthday... When entering the Sammun, the Four Heavenly Kings are guarding with their eyes wide open... When entering the Manseoru of Jikjisa, the majestic force of the Daeungjeon finally takes my breath away... Jikjisa with its overwhelming appearance. ★★★★ Among the Jogye Order temples in Korea, I recommend Hwangaksan Jikjisa as number 1. Let's put aside the worries of the secular world for a moment and enjoy a peaceful walk in our hearts. #JogyeOrg #Jikjisa #templestay #GimcheonTravel

In Gimcheon, Jikjisa Temple is a tourist attraction. I started my tour at Jikji Cultural Park on Buddha's Birthday, the last weekend of May, on a rainy spring day. It's been nearly 20 years since 2004, and this is Jikjisa Temple and Jikji Cultural Park in Gimcheon. The water fountain park... the waterfall artificial sculptures are beautiful. The stream flowing from Hwangaksan Mountain runs down the park... It's full of irises and aster flowers. ★ Jikjisa Temple and Jikji Cultural Park, which is half a century old, is there another park that decorates nature so beautifully? I was amazed by it all by myself. #HotPlace #Jikjisa #GimcheonTravel #SamyeongDaeSaPark

📍 Gyeongbuk Gimcheon-si Daehang-myeon Jikjisa-gil 95 Gimcheon's famous Jikjisa! Tickets are 2,500 won/person, and if there are people with limited mobility, they say you can take a car to the inside of Jikjisa! When I went, it rained so I was worried, but it didn't rain much, so I walked in with an umbrella! There were many lush trees like a forest on the way in, and it's also famous for temple stays! #HotPlace #Jikjisa #TempleStay #Gimcheon #SummerIsSummer

#summervacay Took a slow stroll around Jikjisa Temple in Gimcheon and honestly, it was the kind of peaceful I didn’t know I needed. You start off walking this tree-lined path with little shops and street food spots, super laid-back, not crowded at all. I grabbed some hotteok (obviously) and just kept wandering. The temple itself is tucked right into the mountains at 216 Unsuri, and it’s stunning. Classic temple vibes, colorful rooftops, calm courtyards, and those little lanterns everywhere. It’s got this quiet energy that just makes you want to slow down and breathe deeper. Also, the sound of running water from the nearby stream? Instant mood-lifter. Even if you're not super into temples, the walk alone is worth it. Lots of space, fresh mountain air, and just enough uphill to feel like you're doing something without breaking a sweat. Bring comfy shoes, maybe a snack, and just vibe. Jikjisa’s the perfect combo of nature, culture, and chill. Would totally go again.

#Domestic travel Last winter, I visited Jikjisa Temple in Gimcheon! When you think of temples, you usually think of them hidden deep in the mountains, but Jikjisa Temple in Gimcheon was so open? The slope wasn't particularly steep, and the pagoda and temple were rebuilt, so it was very clean. The surroundings were somewhat desolate and felt even more desolate because it was winter...? But since there were no blocked areas, the view was open and the air was clean, so it was a good way to change your mood!! It's not in the picture, but there was a place called the path of thought(?) where you could walk along the path like a maze, and there was also a place that provided related information like a museum~ After seeing all of Jikjisa Temple and coming all the way to Gimcheon, I heard there was a famous suspension bridge, so I went there. (5th/6th picture) Wow, but the bridge was really long and it shook in the wind, so it was pretty scary??? But the scenery on the water was really impressive, so if you happen to be nearby, I recommend going and walking around at least once!!

Jikjisa Temple on an autumn day with a mountain temple music concert and flower exhibition event... If there is one season that is the best, it is autumn and the autumn foliage road... People who come to Jikjisa Temple for the first time and people who come every year and every month win. They take pictures in front of the mountain gate... The size and scale of the East's best temple are magnificent and beautiful...

Gyeongbuk Gimcheon Hwangaksan Jikjisa is famous for its autumn foliage. Furthermore, I couldn't miss the autumn mountain temple music concert... The old path leading up to the temple is covered with flowers and the autumn foliage is turning crimson. It's pretty. I like it. I enjoyed the free lunch of sirak gukbap at Mandeokjeong where the mountain temple music concert was held and thoroughly enjoyed the mountain temple music concert. The singer Ssangsong... Chilsun Ejeong Hoon, a trot singer, and Song Ga-in's band Gongnyeon and a choir performance really showed off their awesomeness at the mountain temple music concert. I definitely recommend the Jikjisa mountain temple music concert and autumn foliage. ★#AutumnFallFamousFamous #Jikjisa #HotPlace #GimcheonTravel

When you come to Jikjisa Temple, a famous place for autumn foliage in Gimcheon Hwangaksan, prayers come out naturally. Passing the mountain gate, Iljumun, Sacheonwangmun, and Daeungjeon, you will come across Gwaneumjeon, a treasure of Jikjisa Temple. After paying your respects and climbing up, you will enter Birojeon on the hillside of Hwangaksan Mountain. The Thousand Buddha statues have been introduced as treasures of Jikjisa Temple for over a thousand years... Since it is a thousand Buddhas, bowing three times is 3,000 times. ★ Jikjisa Temple Gwaneumjeon, where wishes are granted. Birojeon is highly recommended as a famous place for autumn foliage walks. #Jikjisa #GimcheonTravelAgencyMyeongdaesaGongwonJikjisa #FallFamousPlaces #GimcheonTravel

The front of the Daeungjeon of Jikjisa Temple in autumn is like a heavenly flower garden... tens of thousands of roses, autumn wild flowers, and countless flowers such as glass and begonias are arranged on the stone pagoda and the path in front of the Daeungjeon... It pleases the eyes of the believers and tourists who come to Gimcheon Jikjisa Temple... I wonder if this is what a heavenly flower garden looks like. I stood in the courtyard of the Daeungjeon Temple and admired the flowers for a long time. There are many good points for taking pictures and uploading photos... It is a beautiful autumn scenery in a mountain temple. #FallFoliagePlaces #JikjisaTour #JikjiCulturePark #GimcheonTravel

-Jikjisa Temple Address: 95 Jikjisa-gil, Daehang-myeon, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongbuk Jikjisa Temple, located on Hwangaksan Mountain, is a great Gimcheon travel destination for a summer vacation in Gyeongbuk. It is known as the temple where Master Samyeong, who saved the country and people during the Imjin War, became a monk. The more I went inside, the more I felt a sense of grandeur and tranquility at the same time. The inside of Daeungjeon Hall is currently under construction, so unfortunately I could not see it. This place houses the Jikjisa Daeungjeon Samjonbul Painting and the Three-story Stone Pagoda, which are designated as national treasures, National Treasure No. 1, Treasure No. 12, and one provincial tangible cultural asset. #GimcheonTravel #Gimcheon #ExcitingSummerVacation

-Samyeongdaesa Park Address: 94-3, Unsuri, Daehang-myeon, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongbuk Samyeongdaesa Park is a great place to enjoy a summer vacation, as it has many facilities, including the Gimcheon City Museum, Solhyang Tea Garden, the Tower of Peace, and the Health Culture Center. It was quite large, and it was a place that was created by combining the nature of Baekdudaegan Hwangaksan and the culture and history of Jikjisa Temple, so it was very attractive. It was a great place to enjoy the night view at night, take a walk in the morning, and take pictures during the day. I stayed at the Health Culture Center accommodation located here for a day, and it was nice that it was a hanok house, so it was cool and spacious. #GimcheonTravel #Gimcheon #ExcitingSummerVacation

#HotPlace Stacking a tower is a way to accumulate merit. Hwangaksan Jikjisa Temple and Samyeongdaesa Park boast of sculptural beauty from stone pagodas from the Silla Dynasty to the huge newly built five-story pagoda today, filling the mountainside. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, there is a statue of the Four Heavenly Kings holding a tower in one hand. Among the virtues of accumulating merits for the Buddha, helping others and building a tower in the name of the Buddha is one of the best merits. At Jikjisa Temple, I recited the story of the tower to a monk at the Four Heavenly Kings. ★#GimcheonTravelAgencyMyeongdaesaParkJikjisa Temple #TempleStay #StonePagodaWidowChallenge

You have to pass through many gates to get to the Daeungjeon of Jikjisa Temple. Is it like this that you enter the world of law in stages? At the Cheonwangmun Gate, the Four Heavenly Kings are looking down with their eyes wide open. When you pass under the Manseoru pavilion, you will come across the pagodas in front of the Daeungjeon of the wide courtyard of the thousand-year-old temple, Jikjisa Temple... The fact that the courtyard of the temple is this large and wide makes you guess how great the merit of the temple's scale and founding must have been. Today, countless Buddhists and donating monks visit the Dongguk Ilgaram Temple, and I am amazed again and again at the splendid Daeungjeon of Jikjisa Temple... It's a mountain temple trip in the early summer when the green is fresh #Jikjisa #GimcheonTravel #SummerContaining

I walk around the Avatamsaka Dharma Realm and call out to the Amitabha Buddha.... My face is gradually turning red in the midsummer sun. I pondered the meaning of reincarnation and the Avatamsaka wheel in Buddhism at the Buddhist temple... In early summer, Hwangaksan Mountain is in full color.. I read the names of the stupas one by one at the Jikjisa East Gate where the stupa hall is located.. I want to feel the fragrance of a thousand years of Silla at Jikjisa Temple, which was built by Ado Hwasang, a Goguryeo monk during the 5th century Silla period... #temple #Hwangaksan Mountain #Jikjisa Temple

It's the end of June and the weather is extremely hot. I took the Gimcheon Bus No. 11 early in the morning and came to Hwangaksan Jikjisa Temple... The green maple leaves are beautifully covered with green leaves and purple hydrangeas are abundant in the Daeungjeon courtyard... When the cool mountain breeze comes down the foot of Hwangaksan Mountain, oh how kind the wind is... I'm having a healing time in the early summer at Dongguk University Ilgaram Hwangaksan Jikjisa Temple... The stairs in front of the sparkling Daeungjeon courtyard are boiling and midsummer is approaching... ★Let's enjoy this season. I walked around the Jikjisa Temple grounds and took pictures of the hydrangeas blooming to welcome this summer... The hydrangeas were blooming like hydrangeas to Buddha★ #Jikjisa Temple #TempleStay #GimcheonTravel

In early summer, Hwangaksan Jikjisa Temple is a world of flower Avatamsaka with blue-purple hydrangeas here and there.... When you enter Jikjisa Temple's Birojeon and Manseoru, the world unfolds in golden Avatamsaka. Let's take a picture of the Great Hydrangea at Mandeokru and tour the Beopseonggye... Maitreya Buddha may appear in the next world.. We may not even know that we have already entered the wheel of reincarnation. Let's listen to the sound of the stream at Hwangaksan Jikjisa Temple, where the wind blows in the new green. Jikjisa Temple is also the first temple for temple stay. #Hwangaksan #Jikjisa #Templestay

Birojeon, Samyeonggak, Daeungjeon The place that left the deepest impression on me was the Thousand Buddhas in Birojeon. There is a legend that if you bow 3,000 times and find the baby Buddha statue among the Thousand Buddhas first, you will have a son. Haha. People are busy looking for the baby Buddha statue at the entrance to Birojeon, let alone bowing 3,000 times. It's really fun... Since it's a Thousand Buddhas, bowing 3,000 times is enough. Let's definitely try bowing at Birojeon...ㅡㅡㅡNamu Amitabha Buddha Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva #GimcheonTravel #SamyeongDaesaGarden #Jikjisa

Was this huge shackle of being born in the great nature, dying, and being reincarnated Avatamsaka? In the grounds of Jikjisa Temple, there is an endlessly connected labyrinth called the Dharma Wheel World... There are reliefs themed on waterways that circle around and around. The sculptures on the wheels are also the Avatamsaka ideology that has no end to enlightenment. Just like that. Jikjisa Temple is a place that makes tourists who visit realize that they are turning into Amitabha Buddha. ★#Jikjisa Temple #TempleStay #Hwangaksan Mountain #Gimcheon

In front of the Jikjisa Daeungjeon, the Great Monk Dharma is smiling. Looking at the shining boat, I wonder how many believers must have touched it as if praying..... I visited the Jikjisa Temple in Hwangaksan on the birthday of Sakyamuni. This is the huge and magnificent Silla thousand-year-old temple right here. Even non-Buddhists find themselves chanting and praying in this place filled with the spirit of Ado Hwasang Uisang Daesa... The pagoda and stairs in front of the Jikjisa Daeungjeon have also been designated as national treasures. I was the only one who circled the pagoda at the Jikjisa Daeungjeon that I visited after 30 years... #Jikjisa #Temple #GimcheonTravel
