Woljeongsa Temple

Unclaimed

Once you’ve seen major big temples, you may think no more. But this one I liked lot more to it’s size and uniqueness. The painting and sculpture seem to have some story then other temples. Size was quaint but overly large

Costs about 10,000won from train station to the entrance here. There is an entrance fee to enter if coming with your car. Nice open wide walking trail. No bugs on you because the trail was well made and maintained. Lots of people walking there especially if your buddests. You can walk barefooted which is a trend here. A place to wash your feet is there as well. I would come back again if it weren't 3 hours by car from where I love or 2 1/2 hours by train. The trail is not longer than 1 hour so it would be minus if you think about the money you spend to get there from seoul and other locations. If you keep on going to the last stop on the itx train you get to the beach on the east coast which has more to do and see.

If you are in Samcheok, it is a must-visit place. Along with the tranquility of the temple, you can experience traditional Korean cultural assets and the surrounding scenery is very beautiful. I strongly recommend you to visit. You can also taste traditional tea at a tea house in Hanok Village nearby.

Great place to go with your family
