#koreatrip Its lovely autumn season again, and its time to view the nice autumn leaves. This time, we visited the Guinsa Temple located at Danyang. The transport is so convenient that we are able to take the direct bus all the eay from Seoul to the temple. It is the headquarter of the Cheontae Sect of Korean Buddhism. Although this temple is fairly new, built in 1945, the history of the sect can be traced back 1500 years ago, established during Master Yeongwang in the Silla dynasty. Today, this temple has more than 140 sub temples and up to 10000 monks live here at one point. Every day there will be offerings and rituals done after lunch and worshippers can pray at the main temple. The autumn vibes here is also splendid as you see much of maple leaves turned rad and orange, making the scenery even better.

#FallTravel I went to Danyang this Chuseok~! Have you heard of the temple called Guinsa in Danyang?! Guinsa is not a traditional wooden temple built in the past, but a recently built concrete temple built on a mountain. Since it is built on a mountain, the slope is very steep, but the view from above makes me look forward to fall~ Also, it felt like China, unlike other temples, and the scenery reminded me of a village in a martial arts dramaㅋㅋㅋ It was fun to see because it was so unique! However, the slope is very steep, so if you are planning to visit with children or the elderly, I recommend taking a taxi~ The slope going down is also quite steep..!😰 How about welcoming fall at Guinsa in Danyang, which will soon be covered in fire? #DanyangTravel #DomesticTravel

#AutumnTravel I went to **Gensa**, ljungbok** in **Danyang** in the fall and it was a wonderful experience with calm colors. The place is characterized by picturesque natural beauty and traditional architecture. The surrounding trees were painted in warm colors of orange and yellow 🍂, adding a charming feeling to the atmosphere. I wandered through the quiet corridors of the temple alley filled with peace. The unique architecture of the temple along with the surrounding scenery was meditative and relaxing. Spending time at **Gensa** in the middle of beautiful nature was an unforgettable experience. This place in the fall is a great sanctuary for culture and nature lovers to enjoy beauty and peace 🍁.

#koreatrip Guinsa, (Temple of Salvation and Kindness) is an experience like very few around the world. Guinsa is fairly new, dating back to only 1945. A very nice and steep hike from the carpark through all the different structures to the top, Nirvana, a small burial and pilgrimage place, provides a visual experience that is both beautiful and unique. The flawless buildings with hundred's of intricate details, are simply captivating. The "Daejosajeon" or "Great Teacher Hall" near the top of the valley is the crowning structure.

Autumn in Korea, from late October to mid-November, is the most beautiful. Every corner of the temple has the most beautiful photos. This temple also has monks and practitioners. For those who are looking for shelter or want to practice meditation, I recommend coming here. #TravelKorea #TravelAbroad#BeautifulPhotoPlaces#PracticeDhamma#Review#BeautifulTemple#Temple#VisitTemple#MountainTemple

#Foreign sensibility #Places to visit in Danyang #Danyang travel #Guinsa #Temple stay 📌 Danyang Guinsa (73 Guinsa-gil, Yeongchun-myeon, Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do) The appearance of Guinsa, a modern concrete building, makes me feel like I'm in a Japanese temple. The tall temple building in the maple leaves gives off an exotic feeling.
