23. Gwaneumsa
Established in 1905 CE
Located on the graceful slopes of Jeju's Mt. Hallasan, Gwaneumsa Temple is the central temple for Jeju Island, where it has served as both the birthplace and center of Jeju Buddhism. A nun named Ambong Ryeogwan reconstructed the temple on its present site in the early1900s and led a major revival of Buddhism here. This temple is in the process of being sanctified as a sacred site for Korean reunification and world peace. It is active in a number of Buddhist programs around the island.
