Seokguram Grotto

Since I have arrived at the Buddha National Temple, as long as the time is not so tight, I should still come to the grotto. The half-hour winding mountain road is also a rare experience. but! Although the significance of the cave is very important, the Buddha statue is very beautiful, but it can not be seen clearly, because the whole cave has been closed in the glass "window"... The four walls of a circle of Bodhisattva statues can barely see two, the most beautiful eleven-faced viewing and audio-visual portraits are completely blocked by the Lord Buddha statue. So when you go to the Gyeongju Museum, you should carefully enjoy the topography in the Buddhist art gallery.

Grottoes Because it is on the mountain, and the mountain is Panshan Road, it is indeed a bit motion sickness. We were taking a taxi to save time and energy at that time, and it cost about 120 yuan. . . Then I took a taxi to the museum. It's a bit far, because there is only one day in Qingzhou, of course, it's mainly to save time. (Friends who want to take a taxi must write down the destination in Korean, because the drivers in Qingzhou will not speak English) Qingzhou is divided into Xinqingzhou and Laoqingzhou City. Xinqingzhou really has nothing to look at, but Laoqingzhou City is really beautiful. I am surprised and protected very well. There are no high-rise buildings and no dense residential areas around. They are all based on separate homestays. The greening is very good and the air is fresh. There are rice fields, trees and lawns everywhere. The sky is always two layers of color. The large clouds are dazzling~

There is a big bell at the gate of the cave house. It seems that the bell rings for money. In fact, the main thing here is to look at the stone statues of Buddha, which can not be photographed, but because it is 1200 years ago, the original remains, is the only real one in this trip.

Built in the 8th century AD, on the slope of Tuhan Mountain, the grotto contains a memorial Buddha statue, which faces the sea in the pose of Phumis Pasha Mudra. Around the Buddha statues are various statues of immortals, bodhisattvas and believers. These statues are exquisite and exquisite, and they are in a deep and shallow relief way, which is a masterpiece of Buddhist art in the Far East. Buddhist temples (built in 774 AD) and grottoes together constitute a significant religious complex.[1]

Grottoes and Buddha Guo Temple, located in Tuhan Mountain, southeast of Gyeongsang North Road, South Korea, about 10 kilometers from Gyeongju City. Grottoes are an artificial cave temple built of granite, and are famous monuments in South Korea. The monuments of the Buddha's temple are all made of granite, and its magnificent grandeur shows a balanced and harmonious beauty, which is a treasure trove of Korean stone art. The buildings and sculptures of the caves and Buddha's temple fully showcase Silla culture.

If you have the opportunity to go to Qingzhou, you must go to the grotto to see the Big Buddha. The quiet time is full of strength. In autumn, you can walk the Buddha Temple together.
