Kyeryongsan

Last weekend was spent with Hwang (L's student) and her family, at the park. We went to Kyeryongsan National Park, known for it's historic buddhist temples and majestic mountain. The buddhist's temples are impressive with it's beautiful color and intricate details. From what I read these temples are origins of many legends, two known major temples are Kapsa and Tonghaksa. I noticed lots of people hiking albeit cold weather. Ofcourse most of them are bundled with a ready hiking gear. Kyeryongsan mountain known for it's numerous peaks, offers incredible sceneries, but right now since we're between after-fall-early-winter season, it's mostly plain.

It was a great weekend, another interesting place! More pictures here.
