I loved the history (even if most of it is rebuilt) after various wars.
The Jogyesa Temple is the main temple in Seoul and the centre of Korean Buddhism. It was built in the late 14th century, but like most of Seoul was destroyed by fire during the Japanese occupation and rebuilt in 1910.
If you haven’t been to South Korea and get the opportunity I urge you to go exploring. I can’t wait to get back there. As tensions on the Korean Peninsula between North and South Korea have been significantly reduced since, in the past twelve months, this area will be quick to develop its tourism for sure. I am happy that we have enjoyed whilst it is relatively unexplored.

There’s a Korean population in my area. (We have immigrants from pretty much all over the world around here.) But I’ve never been there.
Great photos as always. I think I remember this post from last year.
Happy travels!
