Take a healing trip to a quiet and unique temple this weekend, with no rain and clear weather forecast!
-There is Tibet in Boseong? ‘Little Tibet’, come to Daewonsa Temple!
Daewonsa Temple is located in the deep mountainous area of Boseong, Jeollanam-do.
Known for its lush cherry blossom roads, it is famous for its exotic pagodas reminiscent of Tibet.
This is the Tibetan Buddhist stupa, the ‘Sumi Gwangmyeong Pagoda’.
It is said that the head monk of Daewonsa Temple became interested in Tibetan Buddhism while traveling in India and shared Tibetan Buddhism here.
The 15m tall tower rises into the blue sky and is majestic, and the five-colored flags around it flutter in the wind, creating a unique atmosphere.
If you go inside the Sumi Gwangmyeong Pagoda, you can see murals painted by Tibetan royal painters and mandala symbolizing Tibetan Buddhism.
In the ‘Tibet Museum’ that leads behind the pagoda, you can experience the spiritual culture and art world of Tibet.
About 600 unique Buddhist relics that are hard to find in Korea, such as Tibet, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Mongolia, are on display.
In particular, there is an exhibition showing the 7 hells shown in the movie depicting the Buddhist afterlife, so it would be nice to keep an eye on it.
Take time to look around the exotic temples in Daewonsa, which is called ‘Little Tibet’!
-Gunsan Dongguksa, a place with pain and history
In Gunsan, North Jeolla Province, where many buildings from the Japanese colonial era remain, you can see Dongguksa Temple, a temple with a unique exterior.
Built during the Japanese colonial period, Dongguksa Temple is one of the few remaining Japanese-style temples in Korea.
As a building that proves the history of Korea’s modern and contemporary history, it is highly useful as an educational material to confirm the pain of colonial rule.
Unlike traditional temples in Korea, Dongguksa Temple is characterized by its very monotonous appearance in the architectural style of the Edo period in Japan.
Instead of colorful dancheong, the eaves with no decorations, a high roof with a steep 75 degree slope, and many windows on the outer wall of the temple give off a Japanese temple feel.
Although it is not large, it is an attractive space with many hidden attractions.
It would be fun to see the Japanese-style bamboo grove surrounding the temple and compare it with Korean ones.
The atmosphere of Dongguksa Temple, where you can feel the traces of time, and the exotic temples give you a mysterious feeling.
If you are planning a trip to Gunsan this weekend, I recommend you to stop by Dongguksa Temple!
-Three sets in one stone that can see Saseongam, temples, Seomjingang, and Jirisan!
In Gurye, Jeollanam-do, which is filled with yellow cornelian flowers every spring, there is a temple, Saseongam Hermitage, that shows a superb view.
It clings to a 20m rock wall like a cicada and evokes a mysterious feeling along with a dizzying scenery.
In order to meet Saseongam, which is hidden deep in the mountains and not easily revealed, you have to climb along the steep uphill road.
After going uphill, which feels rather long, you will see a magnificent view that will wash away all your sweat and hard work.
In particular, ‘Yaksajeon’, which looks like it came out of a rock wall, is a small-scale building, but it’s stylish.
Behind Saseongam Rock, there is a course that leads to the top of Osan Mountain.
If you climb to the summit observatory, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Gurye, the Seomjingang River, and the mountain peaks of Jirisan Mountain at a glance.
Come to Gurye Saseongam Rock, which has a cool breeze, winding Seomjin River, and mysterious scenery from Jirisan Mountain!
