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.

Gabrielle S
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.

Clearly, only female monks are allowed to live here. The venue is wide and surrounded by gorgeous red pine. All areas are clean and tidy, and views of Buhan Mountain abound. There is also a small tea house under the thatched roof that can take part in a half-day tour of Seoul.
