The hike isn’t easy for everyone, but it’s worth it. Park for free at the bottom near main entrance and hike up to the temple and several hermitages and pavilions. If you don’t like lots of stairs...
This is a very fine Buddhist temple located in the hills around Busan. It is really nice in the fall because of the orange and red colors of the trees. It is a very peaceful place contrasting with th...
The grounds are very nice and the temple is interesting. You can stay there as a retreat. Behind the main temple is a long hike up to the top of the mountain behind. Take care on the stones going up a...
I did an overnight templestay at Beomeosa Temple (you can make a reservation on their website). It was a good mini break from the city life with no-meat food, 108 prostrations, early morning hike etc....
เป็นวัดที่แปลกดีน่ะ แตกต่างจากวัดในประเทศไทย แต่ก็มีความสวยงามในแบบของมันดี ร่มรื่นมากๆ
Beomeosa (Temple of the Nirvana Fish) is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism in Cheongnyong-dong, Geumjeong-gu, Busan, South Korea.Built on the slopes of Geumjeongsan, it is one of the country's best known urban temples. The temple is to be believe temporarily closed due to covid-19 pandemic.
This is Busan's most renowned temple and one of the largest and most impressive in all of Korea. It is amongst a large Geumjeong mountain range at the end of town, great for hiking and exploring. There are a few temples and statues around and it takes a good half-day to explore the space. It is affiliated with the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is worth looking into a "temple stay" if you have some time. They sometimes offer bilingual overnight stays at the temple where the monks in residence share their experience and lifestyle, as guests can immerse themselves into temple life and learn about living as a Buddhist for a weekend.
On a mountainside outside of Busan's centre, this sylvan temple is one of South Korea's most atmospheric, ringed by green hills and offering some fine hikes on the ridges that surround it. The stepped design, with the complex laid out on different levels of the hillside, is quite picturesque.
Located on the edge of the famous Mt. Geumjeongsan, Beomeosa Temple is worth the trip if you are hiking the mountain itself in particular, but if you are interested in spiritual sites and Buddhist Korean history I think this is a perfect spot. The temple has fascinating legends about it's "gold fish" that came from the clouds and it adds to the spiritual aura of the temple site. A beautiful temple that was built in the time of the Three kingdoms, it was renovated in the 1700s and is a perfect depiction of architecture and design during the Joseon Dynasty. There is no better way to spend a sunny afternoon in Busan.
