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... |
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. |
