Li Baiyouyun: With the high view, see you directly. The beautiful Tiantai Mountain, which attracts countless literati to leave pen and ink. The pagoda of Guoqing Temple in the Sui Dynasty has a number of habitats. Shiliang Waterfall is the Daochang of 500 Luohan, which is the punching place for everyone to follow Xu Xiake's footprints.

The statues in Bongeunsa share the same stylistic features as the other statues from the 18th century. Only, they are distinguished by the fact that they are made of wood and that they are smaller in size than others even though they are standing statues. Also, they show humorous and friendly looks instead of the frightening expressions like the Four Heavenly King statues. Recently, a written statement of vows and on the production of the statues, and other relics were retrieved from inside the statues. The written document says the state artists like Yeochan, Sinchal, Seonghyeon, Jeongil, Haeun, and Minhwi produced the statues in 1746.

I have come here a couple times while I have visited Seoul. The area is lively and there are a lot of restaurants and shops. It’s in a convenient location near other tourist sites such as Jogyesa Temple and Changdeokgung Palace.

The Korean Itaeyuan in Seoul, South Korea, travel to Seoul, the area worth visiting, I first recommended Itaeyuan, here has a exotic style, of which this central mosque is the most special, there are Korean native Muslims and Muslims from all over the world to worship, the atmosphere is very good! And there are a lot of food next to the Central Mosque, there are many Koreans in the clerk, and the boss is foreigners!

It is a Buddhist temple in the heart of the city, as most Buddhist temples are found in the mountains. This temple helped reform Buddhism in South Korea in the modern period. Though the building dates back to 1395, it was reconstructed in 1936. Outside the temple are trees over 500 years old. The architecture is based on traditional Buddhist temple architecture and palace architecture. The temple also had painted fish, representing one of the incarnations of the Hindu god Vishnu. On Buddha's Birthday in May, the temple has lotus lanterns and other traditional objects representing people's wishes. The temple was beautiful on the inside and out. I also loved the garden surrounding it.

Clearly, only female monks are allowed to live here. The venue is wide and surrounded by gorgeous red pine. All areas are clean and tidy, and views of Buhan Mountain abound. There is also a small tea house under the thatched roof that can take part in a half-day tour of Seoul.
