🏮 Bongeunsa Temple, a peaceful place in the middle of Seoul

If you're in Seoul and looking for a peaceful spot that still retains a traditional Korean feel, Bongeunsa Temple is a must-visit. Located in the heart of Gangnam, right next to COEX shopping mall, our visit was particularly special. The temple was adorned with colorful lanterns, creating a stunning and picturesque atmosphere perfect for photography. However, be warned: the lanterns aren't displayed year-round. They're usually displayed during festivals, such as Visakha Bucha (Buddha's Birthday) in May.

✨ Must-See Highlights
• The 23-meter-tall stone Buddha statue is a prominent landmark of the temple.
• The courtyard of colorful lanterns (If you come during a festival) Beautiful with a touch of traditional Korean charm mixed with fancy.
• A traditional Korean wooden temple, a relaxing and peaceful stroll.
