We went there on a rainy day. Very lucky, in the way, not a lot of tourists. This beautiful temple is back to a “temple-ly” mood: astonishingly tranquil. Everything looked more majestic in the rain storm. We were soaked, and stoked. It’s public transit friendly, with a easy short hike up.

Stunning temple built in to the rock face and natural landscape surrounding it. It is cushioned in nature and was an absolutely serene temple to visit. The route around the temple was overall well shaded and a nice relief from the hot summer sun! Can’t recommend this enough.

This temple is stunning! Built right by the sea, the view is breathtaking. You can hear the waves while walking through the temple grounds. The atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual. There are many small statues and spots to make wishes. The path down is beautiful, with colorful lanterns and carvings.

It was beautiful in this temple. A special place right by the sea. A place famous for a Korean drama "My name". Beautiful scenery. Highly recommended to visit if you go to Busan.

This place is commonly known as the most beautiful temple in Korea and I can absolutely see why. Perched on cliffs over the water, the grounds are packed with beautiful statues, impeccable landscaping and a temple where we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a drum prayer service. We are here during shoulder season so I imagine it’s very packed in high season, would recommend visiting on a weekday morning if possible.
