Xinxing Temple was built in the Sino-Luo period (652), formerly known as Xiangcheng Temple. It contains nine stone pagodas dedicated to Sakya Buddha. After several fires, monks left one after another, leaving only three. One day they dreamed of inspiration at the same time and rebuilt the temple and renamed it Xinxing Temple. The bronze statue of Buddha in Xinxing Temple, known as the Great Buddha of Unity, is the northernmost Buddha in Korea, where Koreans place their desire for North-South unification. There are 16 statues of Arhats praying for unity on the platform. There are three Buddha's real body Sari donated by the Myanmar government in 1992, as well as scriptures and magic instruments. If you are a believer, you can offer prayers for white rice and candles on the spot. When we went there, we saw monks praying for their followers. TIPS - "Remember to take off your shoes before you step on the visiting platform. In addition to candles and white rice, prayer tiles can also be donated and messages can be left on the tiles. Many of them have prayer tiles written in Chinese. It seems that many Chinese people come here to play. Cost - "10,000 won

    Xinxing Temple is also a very good small place. The interior decoration of the temple is also relatively simple, divided into many different levels, and many content is also a small place suitable for visiting. The surrounding landscape is very good.

    Xinxing Temple is also a very simple temple. This place is not very good. The ancient temple is also a very unique place. The scope of the whole space is not very large. You can see a lot of different content. The temple is also very good.

    In 652, the sixth year of Queen Jindeok’s reign during the Shilla Kingdom, Precept Master Jajang founded the temple in the place where Kensington Hotel is currently located. However, Hyangseongsa temple was burnt down in 698, in the seventh year of King Hyoso’s(687-702) reign. In the 20th year of the 16th of King Injo’s reign during the Joseon Dynasty. In the 22nd year of King Injo’s reign, the three venerables Yeongseo, Hyewon and Yeonok vowed to rebuild the temple..In this place, Tongil Daebul, a massive bronze Buddha statue, was enshrined in hopes of inspiring the peaceful reunification of North and South Korea. This is the merciful Buddhist prayer of the Korean people, hoping for the reunification of the country...

    Xinxing Temple is located on the famous Snow Mountain. You can take a bus to the grass at the source of the river and then turn to the bus to go up the mountain. It is not difficult to walk freely. It is a famous Buddhist temple and a popular tourist attraction, deeply worshipped by the Buddha and the Four Heavenly Kings.

    A monastery in the snow mountain is not big. It happened to be snowing when I went there. It felt like a love song in winter. What's more, it's not very clear that the Chinese characters are written in it. It's strange.

    Xinxing Temple is in the snow mountain. You can see it all the way up. There is a big Buddha in the temple. There are many similar big Buddhas in China and they are much more magnificent than here. So I stayed in Xinxing Temple for a while and left.
