  • There are not only Bulguksa temple in Gyeongju. There are many great temples like Girimsa Temple, so if you come to Gyeongju, it would be good to visit other places, not just famous places.

  • For now it seems so peaceful, such a sanctuary, I found peace and time , nature is everywhere, I took a deep breath and let myself be absorbed by the surroundings.
  • We entered the Girimsa temple complex after walking a bit from the forest. When we got there, there was little visitor and it was lovely to walk here with these beautiful flowers and bamboo trees along the beautiful plains of the mountain. Girimsa is a very old architecturally decorated Buddhist temple located in Southeast Gyeongju. It is very clean and empty space, some national treasures are kept here. If you are a temple lover then this is one of the most beautiful places for you. Highly recommend place for local , nature lover and spiritual person.
