Haedong Yonggungsa Temple (해동 용궁사(부산))

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is situated on the coast of the north-eastern portion of Busan. This superb attraction offers visitors the rare find of a temple along the shore line as most temples in Korea are located in the mountains. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple was first built in 1376 by the great Buddhist teacher known as Naong during the Goryeo dynasty.

The temple was destroyed during the Imjin War, then rebuilt by Monk Ungang of Tongdosa Temple in the early 1930s. In 1974, Monk Jeongam became the abbot of the monastery with the duty to restore of the temple. During his 100-day prayer, he had a dream of Aalokitesvara Bodhisattva ascending to the heavens on a dragon's back, which became the origin of the temple's name.
