1 Introduction to Sungnimsa Temple.
The sunrise over the southern sea horizon is spectacular, so it is called Hyangil-am, and the surrounding rocks are shaped like a turtle's back, so it is also called Yeongu-am.
Many people come to Hyangil-am every year to see the sunrise to welcome the new year.
Many people from all over the country, including Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, come to send their hopes and send them up to the sky with the rising sun.
The road to Hyangil-am across Dolsandaegyo Bridge, which boasts a more beautiful night view, is beautiful.
Hyangil-am, one of the four major Guanyin prayer halls in Korea, is located at the end of Dolsando Island.
It is a hermitage founded by Wonhyo Daesa during the reign of Queen Seondeok during the Silla Dynasty under the name of Wontongam.
The sunrise rising from the horizon of the South Sea is so beautiful that in the 41st year of King Sukjong’s reign (1715) during the Joseon Dynasty, Inmok Daesa named it Hyangilam, which has remained until today.
After passing the parking lot with a direct view of the sea, you climb the stone steps that are almost 40 degrees incline, and then climb again, and you will come across tree leaves that cover the sky in green.
The freshness that sparkles in the sunlight adds to the mystery of Hyangilam.
When your legs start to hurt a little, the stone gate (stone gate) leading to Hyangilam blocks your way.
You can see that it is a stone gate that you can only pass by by lowering your body and bowing your head toward the sky.
The path to Buddha. The path to greet the sunrise with a new mind may be a story about learning humility.
After passing through the first stone gate like a gate of liberation, where sunlight as thin as a handkerchief seeps in, you climb the stone steps again, and you are met with Geumosan Mountain behind you and the blue sea and sky of Dolsan Mountain in front. This is a bonus of traveling that can only be obtained here.
