Then, it will be time to dive into the Buddhist religion to visit the Jogyesa Temple, the most sacred place of Buddhism in South Korea. In this religious sanctuary, we'll contemplate a myriad of images and ostentatious Buddhist decoration while we talk about the fascinating tradition and history within its walls.
