Photographer’s Dream in Every Season

#summervacay Whether it is blanketed in the serene beauty of snow or framed by the vibrant hues of spring blossoms, Gwaneumsa Temple presents a breathtaking spectacle throughout the year. The temple’s copper-roofed halls, which gleam with a rich, warm tone, are complemented by the presence of stone lanterns that add a touch of timeless elegance. The forested backdrop provides a lush, green contrast, creating a picturesque setting that is a favorite among landscape and cultural photographers. Even those who visit casually find themselves irresistibly drawn to the temple’s charm, often capturing its beauty with their cameras. For those seeking the perfect shot, it is advisable to visit during the golden hour, when the light is soft and gentle, casting a warm glow over the temple grounds. This time of day also tends to be less crowded, offering a more peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, ideal for capturing the serene essence of Gwaneumsa Temple. #travel #myitinerary #staycation

Gwaneumsa Temple

Dongamsa Temple | A Quiet Place Beneath Ilchulbong Peak Traveling along the coastal highway on Jeju Island's eastern tip, as the green outline of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak gradually fills the view, a small Buddhist temple quietly nestles at its base—this is Dongamsa Temple. It lacks the grandeur of the Great Hall, nor the bustle of pilgrims. Instead, it feels like breathing in the sea and mountain, a place of meditation amidst the rhythm of wind and waves. The temple's gatehouse leans against the rocky cliffs of Ilchulbong Peak, facing the vast Pacific Ocean. The rising and setting of the sun, the rising and dispersing of the clouds, all become its bells and drums. The temple enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha, and nearby stands the benevolent face of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. In the early morning, before the sea mist has yet to dissipate, the lights and incense from the temple gently intertwine, casting a veil of tranquility over the mountains and sea.
