The Pohyon temple, or Pohyon-sa, is a temple located deep into the Myohyang Mountains. It was founded in the first quarter of the 11th century and quickly became the most important Buddhist temple in now Northern Korea. Unfortunately the US troops had to bomb the area during the Korean War and thus most of the buildings are rebuilt as per original designs. The main buildings are like in most temples located along an axis. As you cannot really walk freely in North Korea, actually a bit here, you will be taken around so that you won’t miss a part.
