Seokguram Grotto, nestled on the slopes of Tohamsan Mountain in Gyeongju, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers an especially enchanting charm during spring.
As you ascend the mountain path with the gentle spring breeze, you can feel your mind being cleansed by the tranquil atmosphere of Seokguram, harmoniously blended with nature. Inside the grotto, you'll find the intricately carved main Buddha statue, surrounded by various other statues that showcase the artistic and religious depth of the Silla era.
Springtime often brings mist to the area, creating a mystical ambiance around Seokguram. Early mornings or rainy days provide an even more unique and memorable experience.^^
Seokguram is more than just a travel destination; it’s a place where nature, history, meditation, and reflection come together. Highly recommended as a contemplative springtime retreat.
📍Address - 873-243 Bulguk-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do
