Bomunsa Temple — Attraction in Seogwipo-si

During our recent trip along the coastline, we had the delightful surprise of stumbling upon Bomunsa Temple. Although the temple itself wasn’t open during our visit, we were still able to explore the outdoor exhibits, which turned out to be a fantastic experience!

The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning view from the temple grounds. It provided a breathtaking backdrop that made for some incredible photos, perfect for capturing the essence of our journey. The outdoor exhibit featuring the 12 zodiac signs was particularly engaging. It was not only visually appealing but also sparked curiosity and excitement among the kids, who loved exploring the different signs and their meanings.

Highly recommend early or later when the weather is nice, you will have awesome views, but lots of people as well during peak...

You should miss it if you are there, it took me at most half an...
