Songgwangsa Temple, Suncheon

I enjoyed a hike around the temple but the temple itself was a little dissapointing. There are so many new buildings, cars parked everywhere that the atmosphere is more of a "lived in quarters" than a Joseon era temple. I think for example Buseoksa Temple was better, but that's just my opinion.

Visited Oct. 2nd, 2022. I loved the view, walk, forest, temple. You can buy good wodden scent cooking chopstick. I suggest you don't buy drinks from gift shop, not terrible but not good.

Was there on a templestay. Experienced the sounding of the 4 treasures in temple prior to the morning and evening prayer sessions. The surroundings are wonderful for hikes and walks and scenery is spectacular. Hikes are not refommended for those with any walking issues, however small, as some places could be challenging to tackle head-on.

Beautiful temple, beautiful scenery. A lovely loop walk! I really enjoyed seeing this temple, it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be! I loved the intricate details on each of the buildings. You can also do a Temple Stay here, and I think that's really cool! If you're down here from Pyeongtaek or Osan, I highly recommend seeing this place!

Beautiful place, about 1hr 20minutes by bus from suncheon train station. The 111 goes to here, about 45mins intervals, I have posted the schedule. The number 1 bus goes to the other temple on the other side. You can hike from one temple to the other too. The area has a beautiful temple and has a small entry fee to enter. Beautiful view and a wonder temple, u can also do a temple stay here too.
