Bongeunsa

Some shots of the temple Bongeunsa taken a few weeks ago, just outside the COEX in Seoul. If you're staying in southern Seoul and you want to check out a cool temple, this is probably the easiest place to go.

As a 1,200 year old temple, Bongeunsa has a variety of large and small buildings.

Huge Buddha.

Foreground: Old, Background: New

Admission is free. You can register to spend the night doing a temple-stay program too. As someone who likes to sleep in and is scared of vegetables, a walk around the temple grounds was more than enough for me, though.
