“The most beautiful temple in Korea”… I’m not saying this myself but it is written right on the wall here at Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. Although I have not visited every temple in Korea yet, I kinda agree that this temple is a second to none. Not only the temple itself that is beautiful, the area is also breathtaking. You can see from the pictures that the temple is located right on the cliff where you can enjoy the beautiful sea of Busan. If you can choose, it may be good to avoid weekends and public holidays as it can get much crowded.#Haedongyonggungsa #temple #busan #korea

Not only is it a prime spot for watching the sunrise, but also it’s location also hosts beautiful views of the sea.

Second visit to Busan.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Songdo, Yeongdo, Baeksan Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Nampo-dong, Gwangalli Drone Show, Yacht Holic, Diamond Bay, Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju, Donggung Palace, Daereungwon Tomb Complex, Yangdong Village, Hahoe Village, Hwangridan-gil. This time, I visited all the places I missed last time, not a single one left out. I made full use of the Visit Busan Pass, Trip Pass, and Taiwan Pay. I think I can call myself a semi-expert in Busan travel now. I originally wanted to experiment with the recently promoted Busan Subway app QR code as my main transportation card, but it can only be used for the subway and not for other transportation. So, I ended up using the Trip Pass as my main card. By the way, their 1-day pass (₩6000) and 3-day pass (₩13000) seem very cost-effective. I recommend it to those who plan to travel around Busan a lot.

The Daeungjeon Hall was rebuilt in 1970, with its exterior coated in dancheong, and has witnessed the vicissitudes of history over the years. To the right of the Daeungjeon Hall is the uniquely styled Grotto Law Hall, and in front is the three-story stone pagoda with four lions. Each level of the pagoda has four lions representing happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, hence it is called 'Four Lions.' The most special scenery of Yonggungsa Temple is the 108 steps and the Sunrise Rock. One must descend 108 steps from the entrance of Yonggungsa Temple to reach the temple, and the Sunrise Rock is located in the middle of these steps. Standing on the rock, one can hear the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs and admire the spectacular view of the sunrise. At every New Year, many people come here to make wishes facing the sunrise. During the lunar April, cherry blossoms bloom profusely at the entrance of Yonggungsa Temple. On Buddha's birthday, the temple is decorated with lights, presenting a fantastically beautiful nightscape.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan

I don't know where Haedong Yonggungsa Temple ranks in the popularity of Busan's attractions, but the local Koreans I asked (I asked about public transportation) all said there are many foreign tourists there - probably because I went there on a Saturday, there were foreign tourists, but the small temple was crowded mainly with Korean domestic tourists. This also proves that the number of Buddhist believers in Korea is definitely not less than five per thousand as some materials say, I feel that the claim that 16% of the population are Buddhist believers is more reliable. This temple is competing for business with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, China and the Guanyin statue in Sanya, because it says this is the South Sea Dojo of Guanyin - according to the Korean map, this is indeed the south; according to the world map, this is the Sea of Japan - but Putuo Mountain is the East Sea, and the South Sea in Sanya is the South China Sea, neither of which is the South Sea in the minds of Indians when they talk about Guanyin Bodhisattva, so, let each family say, don't take it seriously. Among these temples, not to mention the cultural heritage, just in terms of the natural environment, the sea facing Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is the most beautiful, with clear blue water and steep rocks, which can be described as refreshing.

Prettiest temple by the sea 🌊

#wecreate Hi everyone, today I want to share with you my amazing visit to the Hae Dong Yong Gung Temple, a beautiful and unique temple in Busan, Korea. I visited last October. The Hae Dong Yong Gung Temple is located on the coast of the East Sea, in the Gijang District. It’s one of the few temples in Korea that is by the sea. It was built in 1376 and is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy. To get there, I took a bus from Haeundae Station and got off at Yonggungsa Temple Bus Stop. The bus ride took about 30 minutes and cost 1,300 won. When I arrived at the temple, I had a coffee at a cafe near the entrance. The coffee was good and the cafe had a nice view of the sea. Then I walked to the temple, which was about 10 minutes away. The walk was pleasant and scenic, with many statues and lanterns along the way. The temple was stunning, with colorful buildings and decorations. The temple was also surrounded by the sea and the rocks, creating a contrast between the natural and the artificial. I explored the temple and saw many interesting things, such as a golden Buddha statue, a dragon fountain, a wishing well, and a pagoda. I also enjoyed the sea view and the breeze. The Hae Dong Yong Gung Temple is a wonderful place to visit for anyone who loves culture and nature. It’s a place where you can feel the spirituality and the beauty of Korea. #korea #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #campingglamping #busan
