One of the Korea's Three Jewel Temples and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Haeinsa houses the Tripitaka Korea, a copy of Buddhist scripture carved onto 81,258 printing blocks.
Just across the bridge over from the bus station has a friendly owner, with rooms for ₩30,000. Cross the bridge and look for the red Motel symbol on the glass door after the restaurant.
By car
If you have your own car, you can also park at Baegundong, which has a park information center.
Once in the park, the only way to get around is to hike. The most popular route is from Haeinsa up the Hongnyudong valley to Sangwangbong Peak and back again.
