Cheongnyangsa (temple) was built in 663 by the great monk Wonhyo in the valley between Yeonhwabong and Geumtapbong (peaks) on Mount Cheongnyang in Cheongnyangsan Provincial Park. According to the principles of feng shui, the area is an ideal place for a temple – with the 12 mountain peaks surrounding the temple like the petals of a lotus flower. The temple is home to two precious historical relics; one is the signboard of Yuribojeon that King Gongmin of Goryeo wrote upon and the other is Jibul. Yuribojeon is the building where Yaksa-yorae-bul (the Medicine Buddha Statute) is housed and Jibul is a Buddha statute made of paper that is surfaced with gold.
