Baekdamsa Temple is the representative temple of Naeseorak.It was first built during the reign of Queen Jindeok of Silla.Move it several times by repeating the fire.It is said that it was built repeatedly.After this, it was built at the current location in 1775.It is said that it was renamed Baekdamsa Temple in 1783.This is one of the 33 national representatives.This is also where Manhae Han Yong-un stayed.A shuttle bus runs from the parking lot to Baekdamsa Temple.To fully enjoy the beauty of Baekdam Valley,I recommend walking.The walking course is so well-maintained that there is no difficulty.There is no sidewalk for about a few hundred meters in the middle.You must walk to the road where buses frequently travel.The road is too narrow for a bus to travel on.It seems very dangerous for people to walk.Baekdamsa Temple is beautiful in spring, summer, fall, and winter.It shows a variety of landscapes.The stone towers built in the valley at the entrance to Baekdamsa TempleIt deepens the spirituality of the temple.There has been no admission fee to cultural properties since 2007.If you use the admission fee for the shuttle bus fee,It is a place that is easier to visit.

Have take bus for 15 minutes to go to the temple. 2,500 won for each person. The view on the bus is great on the left side and the opposite when you had back from the temple.
