Jungbopsa (정법사) & Gilsangsa (길상사)
November 20, 2011
Spent the afternoon walking through Seongbuk-dong. Aside from the impressive architecture, it’s where you’ll also find one of Seoul’s best teahouses.
I wanted to check out the Korean Furniture Museum but as it was closed I headed over to Gilsangsa (길상사) instead, which is literally right around the corner.
Gilsangsa is beautiful this time of year. Before the temple was first registered in 1995, the grounds were home to “Daewongak,” one of Korea’s most famous restaurants.
Just up the street I discovered, in an equally beautiful setting, is Jungbopsa (정법사). Hugging the hillside, this small temple grants some pretty nice views of the city.
