Such a great experience, so peaceful , a must visit . one of the oldest temples in Korea Great temple architecture. Some of the oldest buildings in Korea. A lovely walk through woods to reach the temples makes it even more agreeable.

I heard that it's selected as UNESCO world heritage, and indeed it is a beautiful traditional temple that I am fascinated. It has so much history in it so worth visiting

We only visited here because we happened to be staying at Bongjeongsagil 200 Guesthouse just down the road. It was really great though, a really old (the oldest wooden building in Korea) and magnificent temple in an incredibly peaceful part of nature. We saw two wild deer, a woodpecker and a number of other birds here during our short visit. A couple of other people appeared to be there solely for the bird watching.

This place is really breathtaking and so calm and peaceful :) it is definitely worth a trip if you need some healing time, and the people there were so kind and helpful!

Bongjeongsa Temple is one of the most renowned places not only in Andong, but also in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. It is one of the handful of temples in Korea with the longest history and the most beautiful temple. Bongjeongsa contains Geungnakjeon Hall, which is the oldest wooden building in Korea. Carrying on the traditions of Buddhism, Bongjeongsa can demonstrate the unqiue appeal of mountain temples, which provide people with training of the mind and soul and a chance to relax and find serenity. For this reason, it has been drewing a lot of interest and visitors since long ago. In the Goryeo Dynasty, King Taejo and King Gongmin visited the temple. More recently, in 1999, Bongjeong garnered global attention when Queen Elizabeth II of England visited the Andong Village and Bongjeongsa Temple to gain insight into Korean Buddhism culture.
