#Drive Course In the fall, enjoy the autumn foliage around Geumsansa Temple while driving for about 2 hours. A course where you can enjoy the autumn foliage just by driving for parents who have difficulty walking. In the spring, you can also enjoy the cherry blossoms.

- Location: Moak-gil, Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do - Cultural property viewing fee: Adults: 3,000 won/Children: 1,000 won - Geumsansa Temple, famous for its autumn foliage, is filled with tourists in the fall. There is a three-story wooden pagoda, Mireukjeon, built in 766. The elegant architectural style and balanced pillars look stable. There is a stone statue of Mireuk Yeorae, a nationally registered cultural property, inside the temple, but photography is prohibited. The sarira pagoda of Geumsansa Temple Five-story Stone Pagoda, Treasure No. 25, is also well preserved. The old temple has faded in color with the passage of time. Its appearance matches well with the dreary winter season.

#summervacay Went to Moaksan not really knowing what to expect, just heard Geumsansa was cool. Turns out, it’s really cool. Like, “wow this place feels ancient and peaceful and I should probably whisper” kind of cool. The temple is tucked right at the base of the mountain, and it's gorgeous. Gold Buddha, detailed rooftops, trees everywhere, it’s a whole vibe. After wandering around the temple grounds (and pretending I was calm and wise), I started the hike up Moaksan. It’s not crazy steep, but it’s enough to get the heart going. The trail’s forested and chill, with little workout stops and a bunch of shaded spots for water/snack breaks. The views at the top? Legit. You can see the whole valley and it’s just super calm up there. Like the temple energy follows you up the mountain. 10/10 would recommend for a slower, more mindful kind of hike. Start with the temple, hike it out, breathe deep, feel like a mountain monk for the day.

Geumsansa Temple (Geumsansa: 금산사), also known as the Golden Mountain Temple, is a Buddhist temple located at the foot of Moaksan Mountain in Moaksan National Park. It was built in 600 AD during the Baekje Kingdom. The journey is not as difficult as you might think. From the Christian church in front of Jeonju Hanok Village, cross the street to Pungnammun Gate. Walk past the gate until you find a bus stop in front of a flower shop. The bus stop has a digital timetable that shows real-time schedules. Take bus number 79 and enjoy the scenic ride until the last stop. Then walk past various restaurants, or you can stop for a meal. Many restaurants here specialize in Jeonju-style bibimbap. Our group enjoyed the scenery as we walked until we found the entrance. The ticket costs about 3000 won per person. As you walk, you'll see beautiful trees and a shaded area where people can rest before continuing to the temple. Personally, I love the tranquility and the surrounding nature. The temple grounds are vast with beautiful flowers, especially the creeping pine trees, which must be very old to grow so beautifully. We enjoyed the serene Baekje-style art. I've visited this temple 2-3 times. Once, I had the chance to pray and make merit, and somehow, the staff took us to pray under the base of the Buddha statue. I admire the craftsmanship of the Buddha statue; it has remained beautiful and strong over the years. I heard that if you visit in March, the entrance will be filled with cherry blossoms, so I plan to visit again. The temple has a souvenir shop like most temples, but what caught my eye were the beautiful real stone bracelets, such as Tiger Eye, Moonstone, and Carnelian, at affordable prices. So, I bought some as gifts for good luck.

#FallTravel I knew this place was famous for autumn foliage, but I didn't know it would be this pretty. This is Geumsansa Temple in Gimje! I visited here for a quick photoshoot today, and it was the prettiest autumn foliage I've seen this year. I lost track of time here, and it was so pretty that my schedule got delayed. From ginkgo trees to maple trees, metasequoias, and zelkova trees, all the beautiful autumn foliage was gathered here, and it was so pretty even when it was still colored. The autumn foliage at Geumsansa Temple in Gimje has almost completely changed color, so it seems like it will be so pretty all week long! This is the autumn foliage viewing at Geumsansa Temple with my puppy friend who showed up out of nowhere, and there were so many pretty spots that even if I edited it short, it would still be close to 30 seconds 🥺 But I filled it with pretty spots, so you'll watch it all the way through, right?! 🍂Gimje Geumsansa 📍1 Moak 15-gil, Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do 🕰️06:00-18:00 (winter) 🚘Parking space O

#Domestic travel #Gimje travel #Moaksan #Geumsansa #National treasure #Valley water play Geumsansa, Gimje. 1 Moak 15-gil, Geumsan-myeon, Gimje-si, Jeollabuk-do. Every day in the summer, 06:00~19:00. Winter, 06:00~18:00. Inquiries: 063 548 4441. Free admission and parking. The best temple in Honam, located on Moaksan, founded in 600 AD of Baekje. The wooden Mireukjeon is the only three-story Buddhist temple in Korea and is said to be the largest in the world. Among the three Buddhas, the Mireuk Buddha is 11.82m tall and the Buddha statues on the left and right are 8.8m tall. It is said to be beautiful with cherry blossoms in the spring, playing in the valley water in the summer, autumn leaves in the fall, and the snow-covered landscape in the winter. It is also the unfortunate place where King Gyeon Hwon of Later Baekje was forcibly imprisoned by his eldest son, Singeom. It is said that the drama Taegeon Wang Geon-dye Gyeon Hwon's final years of imprisonment and escape from Geumsansa Temple were filmed here, making it even more famous. I recommend parking at the Moaksan Parking Lot (free) and going. You can enjoy playing in the water in the valley on the way and resting on the flat ground (free), so it would be better to prepare a simple picnic and go. Geumsansa Temple parking lot is paid.

#koreatrip A place where you can simultaneously feel the silence of the imprisoned Gyeon Hwon in the structure that preserves the traditional temple style and the spacious temple yard, as well as the shouts of monks training to overcome the national crisis hundreds of years later. It is very old and beautiful temple. So I enjoyed good views. You can also enjoy staying at the temple.
