Guryongsa Temple sits at the foot of Chiaksan, giving Wonju a more traditional mountain-temple stop than the modern art and bridge attractions to the west. The name means "nine dragons," a reminder of the legend attached to the site.
Come for the setting as much as the buildings. The approach, forest air, and mountain backdrop are the point, especially if you are using the temple as the gentler end of a Chiaksan outing.
