Pyochungsa Temple stands in the mountains east of Miryang and is closely tied to Samyeongdaesa, the Buddhist monk remembered for helping defend Korea during the Imjin War. The setting gives the temple much of its force: wooded slopes, clean air, and a sense of distance from the city.
Most of the current buildings are later reconstructions after a 1926 fire, but the place still carries real historical weight. Pair it with Eoreumgol if you are making a mountain day.
