Hidden in the heart of bustling downtown Seoul, Jogyesa Temple offers a rare glimpse into Korea’s living Buddhist tradition. Founded in 1935, this tranquil sanctuary contrasts strikingly with the city around it. Step through the symbolic Iljumun Gate into a world of peace, where centuries-old pine and locust trees shade the magnificent Daeungjeon Hall. Inside, golden Buddha statues shine softly in the light, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and experience a moment of serenity.

After lunch the second palace was fantastic experience with our new guide. Considerable amount of walking suited us fine. This is great tour if you interested in history.
