Baegyangsa

One of the biggest temples from South Jeolla Province. It's a nice place with alleys for slow walks. P.S. Revisited this temple on a rainy afternoon of April (2025) and enjoyed a quiet and relaxing time. Sometimes, going late means less or no crowded.

Is it possible to be more beautiful than here? "stunned, overwhelmed, mesmerized." I had this feeling that I'm struggling to put into words. Maybe: coming to a place like this alone is a reward for being alone - being lonely. The solitude felt even in the midst of the crowd was so intensely satisfying that... that I couldn't experience such if I had been human enough have had a family.

Templestay experience was excellent. Beautiful temple with amazing surroundings.

If you're planning a temple stay in Korea, Baekyangsa should be on your list. The view is outstanding. Try before the foliage. It might get a bit noisy with tourists when the leaves turn red and yellow.

Such an amazing atmosphere here. The hike to the main temple is about 15-20 mins but you can go even higher into the mountains for a round trip 2-3 hour walk and see even more amazing views. One of the best temples in Korea hands dowm

Temple stay with shrine, situated in the lap of mountain with natural beauty, most visite in fall season. Lots of walking trails, good food (for me little expensive), hotels near by too.

Baekyangsa is part of the Naejangsan National Park. It is best to visit in the fall season while the leaves are changing adding to an already beautiful place and wonderful hike up the mountains. It is a wonderful park with some of the best scenery I have ever seen. There is also a small village outside the park with family osned eateries and street food. The best way to get there is by train which drops you off at Baekyangsa station. The only down side is that there was no local bus that I've seen with a direct route from station to the park.
