구인사 Buddhist Temple

구인사 or Guinsa is in the Sobaek Mountains near Danyang in Chungcheongbuk-do. It is the headquarters of the Cheontae school of Buddhism (the Korean descendant of the Chinese Tiantai school of Buddhism) and can house up to 10,000 monks. The temple consists of more than 50 buildings. It is nestled in a valley and built upwards along the side of the mountain (meaning that one must continually climb stairs as they wish to see more of the site).
