On our walk back to the subway after a visit to the Korea Furniture Museum we stopped in to wander around the grounds of this Buddhist temple located in Seonguk-dong. The temple was founded only recently in 1997 yet we imagined it had been here for much longer. Entering in through the front gate our eyes were immediately drawn to the rows and rows of colourful lanterns hanging over a large amount of the outside space. The grounds were very peaceful and relaxing. The temple offers a range of Buddhist programs, mediation classes and temple stays. This destination is not near the city centre, the nearest subway station is Hansung University on Line 4, take Exit 6 either walk as we did up hill for twenty minutes or I have read that there is an option to take a bus.

I love history and the outdoors so this was a twofer for me. Lovely winter walk along woodsy trails with botanic specimens and birds/ wildlife PLUS beautiful Joseon Era tombs. Could not have spent a nicer afternoon though I bet the Spring is spectacular.
