100% the best of Busan, great for sightseeing as it is rare to see such a breathtaking architecture. however if you come here for religion, it’s not as rich as other temples

The statues in Bongeunsa share the same stylistic features as the other statues from the 18th century. Only, they are distinguished by the fact that they are made of wood and that they are smaller in size than others even though they are standing statues. Also, they show humorous and friendly looks instead of the frightening expressions like the Four Heavenly King statues. Recently, a written statement of vows and on the production of the statues, and other relics were retrieved from inside the statues. The written document says the state artists like Yeochan, Sinchal, Seonghyeon, Jeongil, Haeun, and Minhwi produced the statues in 1746.

With the surrounding portrayals of gods, Bodhisattvas and disciples, all realistically and delicately sculpted in high and low relief, it is considered a masterpiece of Buddhist art in the Far East.

I have come here a couple times while I have visited Seoul. The area is lively and there are a lot of restaurants and shops. It’s in a convenient location near other tourist sites such as Jogyesa Temple and Changdeokgung Palace.

My en-route to Yakcheonsa Temple, a hidden gem nestled amidst the breathtaking mountains. The main hall, Daeungjeon, stands as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the past. Intricate details and vibrant colors adorn the hall, while statues of Buddha and Bodhisattvas emanate a sense of serenity.A getaway from the hustle and bustle from the tourists.

Very comfortable and suitable for visiting a small place. When you come here to play, you feel a natural atmosphere. It is also a region close to traditional life in Korea. It is quite comfortable.

It is a Buddhist temple in the heart of the city, as most Buddhist temples are found in the mountains. This temple helped reform Buddhism in South Korea in the modern period. Though the building dates back to 1395, it was reconstructed in 1936. Outside the temple are trees over 500 years old. The architecture is based on traditional Buddhist temple architecture and palace architecture. The temple also had painted fish, representing one of the incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. On Buddha's Birthday in May, the temple has lotus lanterns and other traditional objects representing people's wishes. The temple was beautiful on the inside and out. I also loved the garden surrounding it.
