Baekdamsa Temple is a representative temple in Naeseorak, located above Baekdam Valley where the clear waters of Gayadong Valley and Gugokdam merge. It was founded by Monk Jajang in the first year of Queen Jindeok of Silla (647) and was originally called Hangyesa, but later renamed Baekdamsa because there were said to be 100 pools from Daecheongbong Peak to the temple. After being destroyed around ten times, it was rebuilt in 1957 and remains to this day.
