Golgulsa Temple

IN Gyeongju we went to many beautiful places. One of my favorite was the Golgulsa Temple. This temple was far from the city, close to the ocean and in the mountains. When we arrived we were told to rush straight to the temple. It was a steep climb but well worth it. The temple is known for practicing a Buddhist form of martial arts. The monks were giving a demonstration. It was pretty amazing to see them practice. Amber has some good photos, hopefully I can get some of those... The temple is builf into a rock cliff. There were 12 limstone caves with different shrines. We had to use ropes to climb to some of them.

This is the walk to the temple. It was right before the lantern festival so all of the temples had lanterns everywhere.


Here is a photo of the laterns on the cliffside.
