Haedong Yonggungsa, Busan

I've been to over 20 Buddhist temples in Korea and this one is definitely in the most scenic location. The actual temple itself or Buddha statue are not as grandiose as other temple sites, but this one provides numerous excellent architectural and decorative features throughout the property for great photos. I've been wanting to come here ever since I saw pics of the place in a magazine and it was definitely worth the drive.

Really pretty place! The whole coast is gorgeous and it leads to the temple on the right hand side. The coast walk is so easy and pleasant. Its so nice to get the sea air while walking. Also, on the weekends is less crowded in the morning.

This was a very memorable trip. I went with my friends early spring 2021. There were many people praying at the temple, so we just walked around and took many pictures. Wearing comfy shoes was the best thing ever, because there were lots of steps to climb.

Holds the unofficial title as the most beautiful temple in Korea and we definitely agree with it. It is peaceful, tranquil and set just by the sea, it provides a constant sense of calmness. However, do expect a bit of narrow steps (with railings so not to worry). Will let the photos speak for themselves.

A great experience. Doesn't cost you a thing and there is a beautiful ocean view. I'd recommend going to see this temple, but I wouldn't recommend buying any food on the market street. There is far better Coffee, Deokkboki, "hot dogs" etc in other places, and it will be cheaper as well.
