白莲寺—全罗北道—韩国寺院

　　白莲寺位于德裕山中心地带九千洞山谷的上游。新罗时代曾有白莲盛开，之后便称为白莲寺。白莲寺四面为德裕山包围，是一处幽静雅致的寺院。入口处有拱形桥“白莲桥”，过桥后经过一柱门便是石阶。石阶之上是大雄殿。大雄殿是白莲寺的主体建筑，雄伟而美丽，与德裕山和谐呼应。殿内的三尊木制佛像估计是李朝后期所建，其奇特之处是左右两尊是如来佛像而不是菩萨像。经过冥府殿可以看到白莲寺的史迹碑，其字体的雕刻手法得到高度评价。
　　白莲寺不但以其寺院本身有名，其周边的许多山茶树也颇为著名。1500多株的山茶树占满了白莲寺的四周，每逢开花时节则繁花丛丛。白莲寺周围的山茶树因载植完好而被指定为受保护的天然植物，如春季前往，可一赏花景之大观。白莲寺又因位于德裕山中，每逢秋日，四周层林尽染，景色极佳。
