Hwaeomsa Temple

화엄사

The big temple on Jirisan's western flank

Address

539 Hwaeomsa-ro, Masan-myeon, Gurye

A big temple on Jirisan's western foot, its compound stepping up the slope against the mountain. The main halls are large, with sweeping rooflines. A trail behind the temple runs on to Nogodan. It suits a walk before a hike or a rest after one.
