Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan

I don't know where Haedong Yonggungsa Temple ranks in the popularity of Busan's attractions, but the local Koreans I asked (I asked about public transportation) all said there are many foreign tourists there - probably because I went there on a Saturday, there were foreign tourists, but the small temple was crowded mainly with Korean domestic tourists. This also proves that the number of Buddhist believers in Korea is definitely not less than five per thousand as some materials say, I feel that the claim that 16% of the population are Buddhist believers is more reliable. This temple is competing for business with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, China and the Guanyin statue in Sanya, because it says this is the South Sea Dojo of Guanyin - according to the Korean map, this is indeed the south; according to the world map, this is the Sea of Japan - but Putuo Mountain is the East Sea, and the South Sea in Sanya is the South China Sea, neither of which is the South Sea in the minds of Indians when they talk about Guanyin Bodhisattva, so, let each family say, don't take it seriously. Among these temples, not to mention the cultural heritage, just in terms of the natural environment, the sea facing Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is the most beautiful, with clear blue water and steep rocks, which can be described as refreshing.
