South Korea Travel Update: Advice for Tourists Amid Ongoing Wildfires
Built in 618 AD and around 1,300 years old, this was one of the largest temples in the Uiseong region and featured a Buddhist architectural structure dating back to the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). It has now been destroyed in the wildfires, though the Korea Heritage Service said that artefacts such as a stone Buddha statue were removed before the fire reached the temple. - Liv Kelly
