[2025 Suncheon-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Songgwangsa Temple (Updated Apr)

A thousand-year-old temple in Suncheon, this place that blends in with beautiful nature is Songgwangsa Temple in Jogyesan Mountain! You can get there directly from Suncheon Station via bus no. 111, so I recommend it to backpackers too!! #DomesticTravel #Songgwangsa #SuncheonTravel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #jhtour

#Travel itinerary 📍Do you know where the three major temples in Korea are? Haeinsa Temple in Hapcheon, Tongdosa Temple in Yangsan, and Songgwangsa Temple in Suncheon 📍It's great to visit Suncheon Bay Ecological Park or Nakan-eupseong Fortress in Suncheon! But if you want to feel the temple or traditional Korean atmosphere, I recommend going to Songgwangsa Temple in Suncheon! 📍There is no separate admission fee, so you can come and go freely, and you don't have to walk too far from the parking lot, and the path is well-maintained, so it's good for a light walkㅎㅎ 📍There were quite a few buildings that looked like they had been renovated or built not too long ago, but they were actually clean and nice? I thought the trees would be prettier when the flowers bloomed in the spring, and the bridge across the water had a really pretty atmosphere, but I didn't take a separate pictureㅜ 📍There was a dolmen site nearby, so I went in, but it wasn't managed separately, so I don't recommend paying the 3,000 won entrance fee to go in,, 📍For reference, I stopped by Songgwangsa Temple in Suncheon on my way back home from Gwangju, and had a very fulfilling day trip:)
