Busan: Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

There's nothing like the beauty of nature next to a holy place. Memorizing! Lucky or not I've yet decide; I visited during the time when it was the Buddha's birthday in three days time. So there were lots of lanterns and extra decoration just to celebrate the buddha's birthday and it look reallllllly beautiful. The down side of that was.. THE CROWD WAS BIT HECTIC I THINK? Temple is suppose to be quiet and like zen but the crowd just took it away and i have to join the mad queue just to get inside the temple. Thankfully I met Jane and Teresa from America and they were kind enough to drag me along with them so I don't have to queue right from the back and trust me it's crazy.

Jane and Teresa from America!!!

How to get to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: 
Thankfully for Charlie's suggestion, i choose to stay around the area of Haeundae and boy it was a good choice as food and shops are just around the corner and not forgetting, Haeundae Beach. (insert heart shapes)

Take the subway to Haeundae Staton (Line 2) and take exit 7. Once exiting exit 7 you will see yourself looking at the bustop just right up front. Take only bus 101 and it's about 15 - 20minutes bus ride? love the ride as it's really filled with local feels and most importantly it's cheaaaaap!

subway T-Card can be use on buses as well and it's cheaper too
Not forgetting the pretty views, ahhh. Looks like sg HDB though, lol.

Spot this pretty roundabout and you can start to observe your surround as the temple it's just around the area. You can also see the brown board sign saying "Haedong Yonggungsa Temple"

It easier than I expected as I was worried about where to stop if I took a bus but hey! It's written up there like which stop is it and etc and you'll see passengers with camera and shit so just follow them (the locals, mostly). If still not really sure, use your gps on your phone and you will roughly know how long more to the destination either that just sit next to the bus driver and let them tell you where to stop.



Upon alighting the bus, turn right and walk all the way straight and you will see a huge rock with the temple's name written on it. Walk up towards the sign and keep walking up hill, yes a mini hill but weather was good so it's fine lulllll.


 Almost there...

180m more...

Breath-taking aint it?!



Wouldn't mind coming here once more with a different mood and of course the next time not a solo trip!
