Haegwangsa Temple was named with a combination of "hae," meaning wisdom as wide and deep as the sea, and "gwang," meaning light that illuminates the path of sentient beings. Although small in size, the temple is full of Buddhist-style architecture and cultural artifacts of religious significance, making it a great place to experience Buddhist culture up close.

In particular, the temple is located near Orangdae Park, a famous sunrise viewing spot, making it a great place to watch the sunrise while making a New Year's wish. The overall atmosphere is quiet and peaceful, so it is recommended for those who want to start the year in peace. It would be even more meaningful to make a New Year's wish at the Yongwangdan Altar at Haegwangsa Temple in Orangdae Park.

If you want to find peace of mind in the New Year, prepare for a new beginning at Haegwangsa Temple, a temple that harmonizes with the sea!
