A must-visit place to visit from Busan. The temple dates back to the Silla dynasty and has such a rich history! Everything is well-preserved and there are great places to take pictures. You can visit at any season!
There is a parking space at the door, which is very convenient, and it feels comfortable from the beginning of the door, and the environment is divided into 5 points! The scenery is good, the air is good, but the merchant service in the temple is average, I asked where the bathroom is, and I ignored it.
A famous temple in Qingzhou, the Silla era began, and the history is relatively long.
One of the oldest temple built during Silla dynasty, listed as one of the UNESCO Heritage area, perfect spot to view autumn foliage.
