Uiseong

I got a day off unexpectedly.

So I decide to go somewhere which I always wanted to trip.

Uiseong Gounsa is the one where I went to my off day.

It takes about 1 and half from Daegu.

I parked and the look forest in the distance.

Well..

I could park my car inside..

BUT I just walked in the woods.

A fresh air makes me feel so FRESH!!

Gounsa temple

Gounsa is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.

The temple was built in 681 by Uisang, a leading Buddhist monk of Silla.

The name means "lonely cloud";
these characters were chosen after the temple was visited by scholar Choe Chi-won.

I walked 2km and arrived main gate “Chunwang” .

There is very special tombstone made by iron in Gobuljeon.

This is the first tombstone in Korea.


It was made in the middle of the Joseon Dynasty

I touched it.


It was a real iron.

Eco-friendly building “Gaunroo”

I found another building next Gobuljeon.

Gaunroo is eco-friendly structure.

There is main pillar in the middle then build building in the air.

It looks like a house built on stilts over the water.

I could write my hopes and wishes and hang in a string.

 

Daewoonjun (The main building on the temple)

Maybe it the main building this temple was very magnificent.

The time was for lunch!


I googled food market and visited Uiseong garlic beef food market.

Wow I picked up one shop.

I could choose the meat and eat at the same place.

So price was cheap and meat was fresh!

I only paid for bake and vegetable.

I could cook myself.

Next, I moved to cornelian cherry village.

From the entrance, I drove 10 minutes.


There are lots of cornelian cherry trees.


It was very beautiful.

This path is quite and clean.

Here is my favorite street.

I like the warm sunshine.

I sat down a bench and take the sun for a while.

It was sunny and clear.

I head for next eco-village.

This eco-village was far away from civilization for only a while ago.

But to attract more tourists, it developed by the village people.

|There are accommodations, Sauna, the place for stroll in the woods,
 abandoned mine experience and crawfish fishing place.

So many places to enjoy in here !!!

 

Wow~~ It was monorail in the mountain.

It takes about 1 hour.

 

There is weak wind-room around monorail.

 

They are using this weak wind from abandoned mine to this room.

Well this day trip was one of the refresh experiences for me.

If there was more convenient facility for foreigner, it would’ve been better I thought.

Well but it was quite interesting place and not too far from Daegu.
