    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Separate ruins, museum and mountain temple

      The open excavated foundations, Yangju Hoeamsaji Museum and present-day Hoeamsa are distinct components with different routes and operating controls.

    2. 02
      Read the site from the overlook and signed paths

      The former royal temple occupied eight terraces with many building foundations. Stay on the managed route and do not step onto excavated or conserved fabric.

    3. 03
      Check its current day and final entry

      Continuous outdoor-site access does not establish museum opening. Confirm exhibitions, interpretation, admission and the return before walking uphill.

      Before entering the museum

      Check its current day and final entry

      Continuous outdoor-site access does not establish museum opening. Confirm exhibitions, interpretation, admission and the return before walking uphill.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Start with the museum when it is open, then use the overlook to connect excavated foundations to the historical plan.
    • Do not confuse the archaeological site with the active Hoeamsa farther uphill.
    • Bring sun or rain protection because most of the ruins route is exposed.
    • Search “양주 회암사지 경기도 양주시 회암동 18” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
