Yakcheonsa is a striking Buddhist temple located on the picturesque island of Jeju in South Korea. Renowned for its serene atmosphere and architectural beauty, the temple's name translates to "temple where medicinal water flows." This name is derived from a natural spring on the temple grounds believed to have healing properties. Yakcheonsa is relatively modern, having been completed in 1990, yet it has quickly become a significant spiritual and cultural site. The temple features a grand main hall, which is one of the largest in Asia, adorned with intricate wooden carvings and vibrant murals. Visitors can also see a large golden Buddha statue and participate in various temple activities, including meditation and tea ceremonies.
