Manggyeongsa is a Korean Buddhist temple located on Taebaeksan (Taebaek Mountain), at an altitude of meters/4,790 feet.
Legend says that a stone statue of the Bodhisattva of wisdom appeared at the Manggyeongsa site and when Jajang, a monk from the Silla Dynasty (57 BC-935 AD), heard about it, he erected Manggyeongsa to enshrine the statue.
The "Dragon Spring" near the entrance of the temple is known as the highest spring in Korea.
