Haedong Yonggungsa Temple Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in 2026?

It’s free to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, and there are plenty of affordable tours that can help you delve deeper into the temple’s history. Tours that combine Haedong Yonggungsa Temple with other Busan highlights, such as Gamcheon Culture Village and Jagalchi Seafood Market, start from US$38.

Q: Is Haedong Yonggungsa Temple worth it?

Yes, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is worth it—few temples boast such an impressive location by the sea. The rugged rocks and crashing waves add to the drama of the Buddhist temple, which is notable for being one of only three sacred places in South Korea associated with the Goddess of Buddha.

Q: Is there a dress code at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple?

Yes, there is a dress code at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. The attraction is an active Buddhist place of worship, so visitors are asked to wear modest clothing that covers knees and shoulders. It’s breezy at this oceanfront temple, so you might want to bring a sweater or a waterproof jacket.

Q: Is Haedong Yonggungsa Temple accessible to wheelchairs or people with limited mobility?

No. There are 108 steps leading down to the oceanfront perch of Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, so it’s not easy for travelers with limited mobility to navigate. Due to its location on the rocky coastline, much of the terrain surrounding the temple is uneven. It’s not a barrier-free Busan attraction.

Q: Is Haedong Yonggungsa Temple close to any other Busan attractions?

Yes, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is close to several other Busan attractions worth visiting. Less than a 10-minute walk away is Skyline Luge Busan, a chairlift and racing track that’s fun for all of the family. On the ride up to the cart track, you’ll get panoramic views of Busan.

Great tour with a fantastic guide

I had a great time, even though the weather was terrible. It was supposed to be a small group tour, but in the end there was only me, so it turned into a private tour with a fantastic guide, Chris. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and accommodating. He answered all my questions and you could tell how proud he is of his town. It was like hanging out with a friend. The places we visited were beautiful, especially Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. I highly recommend this tour.
