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.

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.

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.

无敌幸运星啦
Since I have arrived at the Buddha National Temple, as long as the time is not so tight, I should still come to the grotto. The half-hour winding mountain road is also a rare experience. but! Although the significance of the cave is very important, the Buddha statue is very beautiful, but it can not be seen clearly, because the whole cave has been closed in the glass "window"... The four walls of a circle of Bodhisattva statues can barely see two, the most beautiful eleven-faced viewing and audio-visual portraits are completely blocked by the Lord Buddha statue. So when you go to the Gyeongju Museum, you should carefully enjoy the topography in the Buddhist art gallery.

Although it's really far away in the south sea barley rock, it must be a tourist attraction worth visiting on a special day. The temple on the mountainside is very beautiful with clouds and overcast. You can see the sea in the distance. It is a tourist destination in the heavens and is very scenic

Tongdu Temple is one of the oldest temples in Lushan. There are many traditional cultural customs here. There are free lunches at fixed times, which are provided for local elderly people to eat. There are many historical buildings in the temple. It is also very easy to find in the middle of the mountain.

4.5 It's a pity to come to Jian Lishui and not see Hyangilam. Because it's almost the end of Mt. Dolsan, the travel time is long, and even if you arrive, you have to climb a huge mountain to see Hyangilam. The road is very beautiful and the scenery is spectacular. Even without religious belief, I hope you can try it for the beach from a high place.
