The temple on Gyeryongsan National Park #trovember #southkorea #solo #solotravel #nature #specialforces #naturephotography #canon70d #outdoors #hiking #heritage
This is a beautiful Buddhist temple and active monastery for Buddhist nuns situated in Korea's beautiful national park Gyeryongsan National Park. If you find yourself near Daejeon, South Korea, this park is a must and an easy bus ride away from the city!
Beautiful Buddhist temple in the mountains that also serves as a monastery for Buddhist nuns. It was a great place for meditation outside of the city! Highly worth the trip, great hiking on the surrounding mountains!!! #patterns
