San 2-2, Sangsong-ri, Nagan-myeon, Suncheon

A temple at the foot of Mt. Geumjeonsan in Nagan-myeon, between Songgwangsa and Nagan Eupseong. It was probably founded in the early ninth century, and the present buildings date from a rebuilding in 1983. A three-storey pagoda stands in the yard with stone terracing on the slope, and on a quiet day the forest courtyard is very still. It is known for its red plum blossom in early spring, when photographers turn up.
