Dogapsa Temple, built during the late Silla period, has a long history and various national treasures. Approximately 100 meters from Iljumun Gate of Dogapsa Temple is Haetalmun Gate (gate of emancipation), built in 1473 with a unique design that is also designated as a National Treasure. Near the gate is Treasure No. 1134, Wooden Child Manjusri and Samantabhadra of Dogapsa Temple. A five-story stone pagoda as well as Stone Seated Buddha (a Treasure) can also be seen at the temple. A large amount of the temple was burnt down during various wars, but the remaining stones show how large the temple once was.

⊙ Chadam (차담)

Chadam is a hanok café located at the entrance of Dogapsa Temple in Wolchulsan National Park. Its signature menu item is the insam latte (ginseng latte), made by mixing milk with raw ginseng and honey. Other popular choices include daechu cha (jujube tea), baekhyanggwa ade (passion fruit ade), and patbingsu (shaved ice with red beans). They also sell a dessert called yeonkkulppang (bun with lotus roots, yam, red bean filling), which is unique to temples. Visitors can enjoy healing while observing the majestic Wolchulsan Mountain, which change with the seasons.
