Hakseoam Hermitage

On Baekunsan Mountain, which stands tall in the center of Saengildo Island, Wando-gun, is Hakseoam Hermitage, which has a long history of over 300 years. It is said that the shape of the mountain was in the shape of a crane, so it was called Hakseosaam. In the late Joseon Dynasty, when people on the mainland overcame their sense of distance from the island and began to gather and live in villages, people flocked to this birthday island as well. However, the sea was still a place full of danger, so faith was needed to escape that danger. Hakseosaam was founded by Hwasik, a monk at Cheongwansa Temple, in 1719 (45th year of King Sukjong's reign) as a space to fulfill such beliefs. It is said that Hakseoam Temple is a temple used by residents not only on birthdays but also on Fridays and weekdays. The sunrise seen from Hakseoam is so beautiful that some tourists stay overnight at Saengildo Island to watch the sunrise from Hakseoam.
