The wonderful beauty in Hwagyesa

#seoulattractions A traditional Buddhist temple close to the city center. Belonging to the Diocese under the direct control of the Korean Jogye Order located in the southeast of Samgaksan Mountain at the foot of Bukhansan Mountain. Gukje Seonwon is a central temple for Zen practice and international missionary work, where many practitioners from foreign countries gather to practice. Although it is not a very large temple, it is nice to be able to feel the quiet atmosphere and nice mountain scenery.
