Oeosa Temple

There was some ongoing construction around the temple when we visited so we had to park a good distance away and walk up the road to the temple. It was a nice day for a walk so it wasn't bad. There's a path around the reservoir that we did not take because of time. There's a second part of the temple that is a steep (think stairs) climb. The views were nice from the top and would have been even better if we had gone a couple weeks later when more leaves had changed for the fall. This temple had a tour guide who spoke English very well. He was kind and helpful.

This is a magical place. The main temple is just the start. Cross the bridge and go up the mountain behind the lake to see another gem up the creek. Then make sure you climb the mountain behind the temple to see the other temple up on teh mountain. There were some monks around which made it very awesome. I would go there everyday if I could. You can see all of Pohang if you continue to scramble up the mountain to the top.

The Oeo-sa Trail offers plenty of refreshing shade. As you cross Wonhyo Bridge, covered in lush greenery, you can admire the plump carp. Standing at Oeo-ji Pond from Wonhyo Bridge, a cool breeze from afar swirls around my ears, providing unparalleled refreshment. With the mountain in the background, the elegant scenery of Oeo-sa Temple comes into view at a glance.

Lovely place to visit. So quite and peaceful. The view of mountain and the crystal clear lake was mesmerizing. The works of the temples was breathtaking. The white statue of Buddha is very beautiful. I loved every bit of it. I love the rocking bridge but at the same time I was scared as I don't know swimming 😂. …

The river was all dried up for some reason but I assume it looks really beautiful when the river is full. The temple takes some walking to reach (about 3km) and there are hiking trails everywhere
