Bongeunsa is a serene 8th-century Buddhist temple hidden among the Gangnam skyscrapers — a spiritual oasis of wooden halls, a 23-meter Maitreya Buddha statue, and temple stay programs a world away from the surrounding commercial frenzy.
Founded in 794 AD during the Silla Kingdom, Bongeunsa was historically one of Korea's most important Buddhist temples. Despite being surrounded by skyscrapers, it maintains a remarkable sense of tranquility.
