Temple |
May 14,
2006. We stayed at a youth hostel here
for the night after a hot spring at Bomun
Lake Resort. Night time at this small town was very
quiet but then it came to life the following morning.
We didn't really know the way to the temple but everybody
seemed to be heading the same way, so we just followed
the crowd and we hit it.
Bulguksa Temple is one of the most important and frequently
visited temples in Korea. |

Grotto |
May
14, 2006. Our lady friend Sherry
volunteered to be our logistics manager for the day, so
we could hike up to this artificial grotto. This grotto
is located near the summit of Mt. Tohamsan. It has a seated
Buddha statue made of granite and a bunch of carvings
of gods, Buddha's deciples and guardians. |

May 14, 2006. I took
a side trip to this mountain while the ladies were hiking
back to the temple. Access is at the back of the Seukgulam
Grotto ticket booth and it took me 15mins up and a hoppin'
joggin' 30mins down back to Bulguksa Temple. |
