haedong younggungsa temple

october has been a very temple-filled month thus far. after my temple stay experience, and with four consecutive days off in a row (something that will not recur until at least february), i decided to explore more places in the city.

haedong younggungsa temple was so different from beomeosa. where the latter exuded tranquility and was full of amiable monks wandering the grounds, haedong younggungsa was exclusively populated by tourists, and for good reason.

nestled beside the ocean, it is a gorgeous temple. there isn’t much more to say about it, but there is one cliche about images and words i will refrain from inserting here.
