부 산 - busan part 2

The general temple decor is similar throughout Korea. After awhile the location becomes the differentiating factor when scouting for a new temple to visit. Yonggungsa, located on the outskirts of Busan, has a truly unique setting. To reach the temple you must walk down 108 stairs flanked by thick bamboo. Midway down the stairs the bamboo parts and the East Sea welcomes you in all its blustery glory. Yonggungsa is perched on the cliffs with twisted pines surrounding its back door.
It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip to Busan.
