This modern temple built on an ancient sacred site is just west of the Baekdu-daegan Ridgeline-Trail in
Ibaek-myeon District of Namwon City.  It was visited by the Baekdu-daegan hikers on a rainy day of 9/2007.

This Mountain Spirit painting in the small Sanshin-gak left of the Main Hall, painted with oils
on a thin sheet of metal (!) (the reason for the uneven glare), is stunning in its uniqueness!
Including an entire family of four tigers, the patriarch with a lion's mane... never seen before.
The statue in front features exaggeratedly-large staff-with-gourd and ginseng-plant motifs.
a Tiger with a Lion's mane!!!
thin and shy...

where the Baekdu-daegan Trail crosses
Highway 24 (running from Namwon to Unbong
Town).  next to him is a classic style Korean
jangseung guardian spirit statute, above
him are three regular tombs and on the left
is a wooden signpost of the trail.
Yeowon-am is a humble temple right on the pass, with a pretty pond in front.
the almost-hidden Yong-wang statue,  and the well-house in back of the temple that contains it,
with the Sanshin-gak on top -- also made of cement, which is unusual.

This pass, Yeowon-jae, is associated with
one of the great national-history stories of
Jiri-san, Namwon City and the Baekdu-
daegan Range.  See this page to learn it.
