Heungnyunsa Temple is a temple located on Cheongnyangsan Mountain in Incheon. Although originally built in 1376, it was destroyed by fire and reconstruction began in 1927. The temple's buildings and sculptures are adorned with elaborate gold paint, lending them a splendid appearance. The temple's bell is also gilded, and its 40-meter-high Great bronze Buddha pagoda shines in gold. Heungnyunsa Temple is also renowned for its panoramic views and sunsets. Visitors can overlook the direction of Songdo in Incheon and even catch a glimpse of the distant Incheondaegyo Bridge spanning over the sea.
