Jeonghyesa in Jeonju is a temple where nuns of the Bomunjong lineage pray and study. Jeonghyesa was originally established in 1899 when Mr. Choi Hyang-gwan built a small Chilseonggak under Wansan to pray for the birth of a son, enshrined Buddhist statues, and purchased an adjacent thatched house to create the temple, naming it Jeonghyesa and conducting prayer rituals. In 1921, Monk Jeong Myeong-ju established a Buddhist propagation foundation and built Bogwangjeon with 15 rooms and Yonghwajeon with 1 room. Additionally, Myeongbujeon, Nahanjeon, Wansan Seonwon, Sadaecheonwangmun, and monastic quarters were constructed to focus on practice and propagation. A Buddhist training center was also established to train disciples. Since then, Monk Baek Hyemyeong and the current head monk, Jeong Hyeil, have repeatedly led reconstruction and renovation projects, shaping Jeonghyesa’s present appearance.

Wansan Chilbong is so representative of Jeonju that when you think of Jeonju, you think of Wansan Chilbong. It has been the lifeline of Wansan, continuing with the thousand-year-old city of Jeonju, flowing into the Honam Plain, and becoming the origin of the three cities of Iksan, Gunsan, and Jeonju. It embraces the historic Chilseongsa Temple and mineral spring. From the octagonal pavilion observatory at the summit of Wansan Chilbong, the whole land lies below hesitating. Wansan Chilbong, where a fierce battle took place during the Donghak Peasant Movement, is now maintained as a forested citizen park.

The temple guards the south of Jeonju along Namgosanseong Fortress, and from the temple looking down, you can see the cityscape of Jeonju at a glance, offering a beautiful view. Existing buildings include the Daeungjeon, Gwaneumjeon, Samseonggak, and Sacheonwangmun. Inside Namgosa, Samseonggak is located, which is a Buddhist structure enshrining Sanshin, Chilseong, and Dokseong, representing a form combining native Korean shamanism and Buddhism. Also, the Daeungjeon is a hip-and-gable roof building with three bays in front and three bays on the side, housing a main Buddha of Shakyamuni Buddha along with the three main Buddhas. The building site in front of Daeungjeon is the old temple site of Namgosa, designated as a cultural monument of Jeollabuk-do in August 1985. Namgosa in autumn, filled with colorful autumn leaves, is said to offer an even more beautiful landscape, attracting many visitors.

Jeonju Namgosan Fortress is a mountain fortress surrounding Godeoksan, the main peak of Namgosan in the south of Jeonju, along with peaks called Cheonggyeongdae, Mangyeongdae, and Eokgyeongdae.
