Dragon Pool Temple

Dragon Pool Temple is a Buddhist temple in Jeju City, South Korea. The temple, set within a walled compound, contains a phallic shrine which is visited by female pilgrims who come to worship it for its perceived fertility blessings. The phallic stone is made from granite, quite small in size and white and was reportedly found in a field nearby by a farmer.[1]
