Nestled up against the rocky coastline, Haedong Yonggung Temple offers sweeping sea views and a rare example of oceanfront medieval architecture in the country. Originally constructed in 1376, the temple has in the following centuries undergone several periods of restoration and reconstruction. Make your way along the 108 steps to the main part of the sanctuary, and you'll find the path lined with anthropomorphic animal statues representing the signs of the zodiac. Peel off towards the sea to get a panoramic view out over the water from the rocky viewpoint, where you can feel the breeze blowing and hear the waves crashing against the shore. Explore the main portion of the temple and find its numerous nooks and crannies, filled with icons, statues, and artworks dedicated to teachings of the Buddhist faith.

용궁사 앞 짜장면집이 맛있다는 소문에 들린 김에 겸사겸사.. 올라가는 길 내내 여러 석상과 많은 인파들 그리고 장사꾼들... 거기다 용궁사에 붐비는 인파까지...바닷가 앞에 만든 절이라 절묘한 분위기는 있지만 사람이 너무 많아서 좀 혼잡했습니다. 인원조절을 좀 할 수 있다면 좀 더 좋으련만... more »
Kim is said to be a great sweet man. Throughout the way, there are many statues, crowds, and merchants... There are also crowds at the Palace. The hotel is located in front of the beach, so it's a nice place to stay. It's a good place to stay if you can.View original -
바닷가바위위에 절이 있어서 신기하여 처음갔었는데 지금은 부산에 오면 꼭 갑니다.석가탄신일에왔을때도 사람이 엄청 많았는데 주말에도 역시 붐비네요.하지만 꼭 들러서 경관을 구경하세요.절도 멋집니다.부산의 명소인 이유가 있네요.부산시티투어버스가 바로앞까지 운행합니다.이용하시면편리하게 다녀올수있습니다 more »
