Haeunsa | 景点信息 | K-Travel Mate

Haeunsa, located at Manjangdae, the best mystical spot in Gimhae, offers a view of the wide plains of the lower Nakdong River to the south, with Gimhae city to the west and Donggimhae city to the east clearly visible. According to legend, the name Haeunsa originates from a temple founded to thank the Dragon King who calmed the waves, allowing Queen Heo, who came from the Ayuta Kingdom of India to ancient Gaya and married King Suro, and her brother Jang Yuhwasang to safely voyage. Haeunsa features an uncommon building called Daewangjeon, where King Suro is enshrined; inside are portraits of King Suro and Queen Heo, and it is located within Bunsanseong, serving as a forward base to repel Japanese invaders. Since 1982, starting with the reconstruction of Yeongsanjeon, various halls have been rebuilt and repaired, and in 1997, a Buddhist ritual was conducted to recreate the Pasa Stone Pagoda that Queen Heo is said to have brought on the ship.
