Okcheonsa Temple was built in the 16th year of King Munmu's reign (676) during the Silla dynasty. The name “Okcheon,” which means "jade spring," was derived from the mineral spring located next to the main hall. The temple holds several valuable cultural assets, such as the state-designated heritage Bronze Gong of Okcheonsa (Treasure No. 495) and 119 city/province-designated heritage properties, including Jabangnu Pavilion, Hyangno (incense burner), Daeungjeon Hall, and Daejong (bell). The linden tree at the Cheongnyeonam was designated as Monument No. 82 for its great academic value. There are other small temples nearby, such as Baengnyeonam, Cheongyeonam, and Yeondaeam. Those interested in learning more about Buddhism can drop by Yeonhwasan Provincial Park’s Bojanggak Hall, an exhibition hall built to preserve about 120 pieces of Buddhist artifacts.
