The purpose of this study was to analyze visually the site planning design of the mountainous-district-temple-type temples among the early Avatamska Temples and find the similarity in stone platform design, site planning and path design of the rite offered before a statue of Buddha. As objects of investigation, the 3 inclined-site-located temples of Buseoksa, Hwaeomsa, Haeinsa are selected, which were designed by Uisang and his disciples and have the same background of the times politically and socially. It was studied on the base that design process of the architecture is systematic, goal-oriented and problem-solving, and Hwaeomsa and Haeinsa were composed of the 4 spacial parts of introduction, approaching, central and denouement. The selected similarities found in this study were as follows; 1) a dramatic natural scenery was a important factor in choosing the site location. 2) buildings of each temple were planned along a linear axis. 3) central part and denouement parts shows dramatic conversions, where high stone platform does critical role. 4) in case of Buseoksa temple, there is possibility that the composition of the 4 spacial parts was applied in the site planning design though no building in the denouement part exists.
