Jeondeungsa Temple is a Buddhist temple located on Ganghwa Island in Incheon, South Korea, known for its historical significance and tranquility. With a history that dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, the temple has been a pilgrimage site and a place of cultural gatherings. Although the temple itself is not a food destination, the area around the temple is rich with traditional Korean cuisine, influenced by local agriculture and the proximity to the sea, which provides an abundance of seafood.
