Summary

[edit]
Description

Seungseongyo, Seungseon Bridge, is a granite stone bridge constructed in semi-circular arch configuration 14 meters/46 feet long and 3.5-meters/11.5 feet wide.

Monk Hoan built this Joseon Era bridge over a period of six years beginning in 1713. Seungseongyo is considered to be amongst the most beautiful of the old stone bridges in Korea.

Seungseongyo is Treasure No. 400.

Seonam Temple,Seonamsa, is a Korean Buddhist temple located on the eastern slope at the west end of Mount Jogyesan Provincial Park, within the northern Seungjumyeon District of the city of Suncheon, Jeollanamdo Province, South Korea.

The name Seonam (Heavenly Rock) is derived from the legend that a heavenly being once played the game of Go here. Legend states that in 529 CE missionary-monk Ado Hwasang built a hermitage at this site and 350 years later in 861 National Master Doseon Guksa constructed a grand temple here.
