Bongeunsa Temple Garden (봉은사)

#seoulspots



Right in the middle of Seoul’s busy business district, Bongeunsa Temple is like a breath of fresh, calming air. 🌸 Surrounded by skyscrapers, this temple garden feels like a little pocket of peace where time slows down. The tall Buddha statue is breathtaking, but it was the small, colorful lanterns swaying in the breeze that really touched my heart. 🏮💕 I wandered through the gardens, listening to the soft sound of temple bells and the rustle of leaves, and it felt like my stress just melted away. Locals were quietly praying, tourists were respectfully exploring, and monks in robes added to the serene atmosphere. 🌿 I sat down on a bench, looked up at the mix of modern skyline and ancient tradition, and realized how unique Seoul is — always balancing old and new. If you want a soul-soothing escape without leaving the city, this is the spot. ✨
