Bongeunsa Temple (봉은사

#templestay Bongeunsa Temple (봉은사) is a tranquil retreat nestled amid Seoul’s modern skyscrapers in Gangnam. Founded over 1,200 years ago, it blends ancient tradition with urban energy. The towering Buddha statue, peaceful walking paths, and ornate temple buildings offer a spiritual escape from the bustling city. Visitors can observe monks in prayer, hear the calming sound of temple bells, and even participate in temple stay programs. The contrast between the serene temple grounds and surrounding high-rises adds to its unique charm. Bongeunsa is an ideal spot for reflection, cultural exploration, and experiencing the harmony of old and new Korea.
