Haedong Yonggungsa – Korea’s Most Stunning Temple by the Sea

#mytraveldiary Tucked away along the dramatic coastline of Busan, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is easily one of the most breathtaking places I’ve visited in Korea.

Unlike most temples nestled high in the mountains, this one sits right at the edge of the ocean — and the views? Absolutely unforgettable. Think crashing waves, steep cliffs, and peaceful temple grounds that look like they were pulled from a movie scene.

From the 108-step descent to golden Buddha statues and rows of colorful lanterns, everything about this place feels both spiritual and surreal.

At one point, I stopped by the cliffside, let the sea breeze hit my face, and just stood there — feeling completely at peace.

If you're planning a trip to Busan, don’t skip this coastal gem. It’s not just a temple — it’s a soul-soothing experience.
