  • The Guinsa Temple, located in the So-baek Mountains. Is the most beautiful temple I have visited in Korea. There is parking available at the bottom of the mountain for 3,000 won that includes a free Shuttle to the entrance of the village. After that, prepare your body soul for a hard hike up, with many, many, many stairs. I will recommend you bring water but in case you forget, there are a few vending machines on the way that offer water and cold coffee. Going up the views and the buildings are breathtaking. They offer accomodations with a temple stay at very reasonable prices. If you are in Korea this temple is a must visit.
  • Temple in the Danyang area. Admission is ₩3,000. It’s a 800meter walk from the gate uphill—so wear comfortable shoes. Temple stays are offered at 3d/2n.
