Spiritual Seonamsa, scenic serenity in Suncheon
#cherryblossom2024
Chogyesan Seonamsa is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Suncheon and dates back thousands of years. Its first incarnation was built about 1500 years ago and it was expanded in the year 861 into a larger grand temple.
🚶♀️ Getting to the temple does take a bit of a walk, about 15 to 20 minutes upslope. It is quite manageable even for the elderly and the beautiful natural scenery around the temple grounds provide a wonderful environment for a meditative walk.
🌳 The grounds are home to many trees that are hundreds of years old, there is a large cypress tree and plum tree in particular which are protected treasures. Another national treasure you can find is also one of the oldest wooden lavatories in Korea, a large single eaved structure with stalls for men and women on the sides.
During the lead up to Buddha's birthday in the spring time, you'll be warmly greeted by the colourful lanterns celebrating the occasion. There is also another temple on the other side of the mountain, and it is possible to trek between the two temples though it would take several hours so it's best to start early in the morning if you plan to make the hike.
At the entrance to the temple complex, there is a small tearoom where you can have a little rest and soak up more of the lovely scenery before you go.
