Jingwansa Temple

Went to Eunpyeong to check out a cafe and did a little trekking to Bukhansan National Park. Many local seen trekking up in groups nearing to noon when it is not so cold but not crowded. Quaint and clean area, very impressed on how they maintained it. Even the washroom near the temple is so clean, you need to change to slippers before you enter. If you are exploring Eunpyeong checking out the hanoks & cafe, do drop by the park & temple. Is about 30-60 mins from Seoul City Hall area depending on your transport options. As the Chinese saying goes, "enter the house you address people", "enter a temple you pray".

A small, beautiful decent size temple with free parking by the hanok village is definitely a quick visit for the peaceful ambience and history about the Korean flag. This is a true temple with quiet atmosphere and prayers, not too overcrowded with tourists like some other temples

It is a very good place, good atmosphere, peaceful, refreshing, makes the mind feel light, the people are lovely, very impressive, if there is another chance, I will come back again. 2024.12.04

Easily accessible via bus. A short walk of about 15 minutes to reach the temple. Serene & peace. Amazing autumn colours 🍂 be mesmerised. The architectures were brilliant & this place definitely worth spending time going through the history. Would like to book temple stay next visit!

Incredible place, very beautiful. No tourists at all and completely free to visit.

A visit to Bukhasan Mountain and the historic Jingwansa Temple is a must when in Seoul. Built over 1,000 years ago, the temple offers a tranquil and picturesque retreat, providing a peaceful escape from the city’s bustling pace. The surrounding area is known for its serene atmosphere, with nearby tea houses offering refreshing flower teas and local snacks, perfect for relaxation.

Quite peaceful. The cafe offers a variety of tea - i recommend dae-chu 대추차. It's good both hot and iced.

It's a bit tricky to get to without a car, but definitely worth a visit. The mountain connected in the back is also a true gem; I recommend wearing hiking shoes if you plan on walking up the mountain for a bit. The cafe on the premises has great Korean traditional teas and Bingsoo(snowflake)!
