Guys and dolls, there's no denying it, I love Buddhist temples! Something about the smell, the space, and the tranquility overwhelms me and calms me. This particular one is located on the outskirts of 순천 (the same place where all those tall reeds are located), and is called 선암사(Sunam-Sa). This is actually a less famous temple that is located in very close proximity to one of the largest and most famous temples in Korea. We chose this one because we wanted someplace with less people and something a bit more tranquil. Needless to say, we got what we wanted. The entire walk up to the temple was shaded with the sound of the river to our left running down the hill, the breeze from the water cooling the entire path up to the temple. In the picture above you can see the river flowing down river, and all the way in the distance is a flat stone bridge, quite famous as a national treasure (certified and all). This was one of the more unexpected and beautiful finds in my time here in Korea.
