The Serenity by the Sea: A Soulful Stroll at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

During my trip to Gijang, Busan, I visited Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which is perched on a seaside cliff, offering a breathtaking blend of temple and ocean scenery. As soon as I entered, the refreshing sea breeze and the sound of waves heightened my anticipation for the journey. Walking slowly along the trail, I was captivated by the dragon sculptures, intricately designed pagodas, and bridges set against the backdrop of the sea. Standing on the bridge that stretches toward the ocean, I felt a sense of tranquility as the gentle sound of waves seemed to cleanse my mind. The sunlight shimmering on the water, harmonizing with the temple's beauty, created a picturesque scene perfect for capturing in photos. Throughout the temple, there were spaces to make wishes and rest points to take a break, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely visit. Haedong Yonggungsa is not just a sightseeing destination to explore a temple but a place where you can stroll by the sea and feel a sense of healing. I highly recommend including it in your Busan itinerary to enjoy a unique experience where the sea and tradition come together. 📍 Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Gijang-gun, Busan
