The feeling of the forest's energy naturally seeping into the temple

#SeptemberTravelSupport Deep in the foothills of Jirisan Mountain, Hwaeomsa Temple boasts breathtaking scenery, with its natural forest paths, clear streams, and vibrant flowers and trees. In spring, cherry blossoms bloom along the Iljumun Gate in front of Hwaeomsa Temple, and in summer, the shade of the trees, filtering the sunlight through the green forest, creates a refreshing atmosphere. The proximity of the mountains and valleys surrounding Hwaeomsa Temple creates a sense of natural forest energy seeping into the temple grounds. The contrast between the autumn foliage and the temple's buildings creates a breathtaking scene, with the reds and yellows blending beautifully with the tiled roofs and stone walls. In winter, the soft snow beneath the eaves creates a uniquely cozy, yet tranquil atmosphere. Walking along the forest path, accompanied by the sounds of water, wind, and birdsong, makes time seem to fade. The harmony of nature and temple is so captivating that simply staying here is healing and purifying. The views from the stone steps and surrounding forest are breathtaking, even for photos.
