The Tranquility Above the Sea, Haedong Yonggungsa

Haedong Yonggungsa, located right by the seaside in Gijang, Busan, offers a unique and incomparable scenery unlike any other temple. The refreshing sea breeze and the sound of waves felt from the entrance added to the excitement of the journey.

Walking slowly through the temple, I could admire the meticulously crafted structures such as statues, pagodas, and bridges. The dragon sculptures and walking paths with the sea as a backdrop were particularly perfect spots for taking photos. The moment when the sunlight sparkled on the sea brought a sense of peace to my heart, offering a healing time amidst nature.

Nearby, there were spaces to enjoy light snacks and souvenirs, making it a great place to take a break and savor the leisure of the trip. Haedong Yonggungsa is not just a tourist destination but a must-visit spot in Gijang, Busan, where you can enjoy a peaceful landscape created by the sea and the temple, along with walking, healing, and photography.
