Yeongju-a two-day journey of embracing the calmness. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly Buseoksa Temple. Perched atop a mountain, it offers breathtaking views of both sunrise and sunset, making it the perfect spot to embrace peacefulness. The temple symbolizes the "gate to heaven," inviting visitors to connect with spirituality amidst its serene surroundings. Another gem was the Sosu Confucian Academy, a testament to the conscious efforts of ancient scholars striving for wisdom. The academy beautifully blends nature and architecture, creating an atmosphere of reflection and learning. Yeongju itself is a treasure trove of local specialties waiting to be discovered. From ginseng cultivation to the region’s renowned apples, there’s so much to explore and savor. Staying at the Sobaeksan National Park Nature Center was a delight—the staff were incredibly cordial, and the local representatives provided informative guidance that enriched the experience. If you have the chance to travel with Funday Korea, your trip will be hassle-free and truly memorable. Their excellent organization ensures that every aspect of the journey is smooth and enjoyable. This trip was a perfect blend of history, nature, and culture—a must-visit destination for anyone seeking inspiration and serenity.
Start your day early to witness the serene sunrise or visit in the evening for a captivating sunset—both are magical moments at the temple!
