Gwangmyeongsa Temple

Located between Cheonjeyeon Falls and Beritne Oreum in Jungmun-sangro, Seogwipo, Gwangmyeongsa is a small Buddhist temple belonging to the Taejong Order. It was founded by Venerable Bang Dong-hwa, who led the Muo Beopjeongsa anti-Japanese struggle in 1918, just one year before the March 1st Independence Movement. Despite its profound historical significance, the temple's history spans less than a century.
