Won-dang-san Mun-gang-sa [Culture-River Temple] has a great new-but-classic San-shin painting (with Bodhisattva statue in front!), and also a unique wall-painting -- Founder of Seon [zen] Buddhism Bodhi-dharma sitting with a tiger, as if he were a San-shin! (playful mixing of genres like this gets
ever more common in Korea these days).

Wondang-san [Original Shrine Mountain]
the holiest peak on Jeju's north coast
including Bultap-sa [Pagoda Temple]
Won-dang-san Won-dang-sa [Origin-Shrine Temple] displays excellent San-shin and Dok-seong
icons flanked by donor-name candle/statuettes and silk banners with sutra-lines.
Won-dang-san Bul-tap-sa [Buddha-Pagoda Temple]  is a nice new nun's monastery built on an old site.  It features the San-shin and Dok-seong paintings above, and the oldest pagoda on Jeju Island (perhaps the only pre-1948 pagoda extant there).
It is handsome, 5 stories in the Joseon-Dynasty style, and is Korea's only pagoda made of black volcanic basalt stone like the famous Dol-harubang statues.
