What a beautiful surprise. We visited in November during Autumn & nature did not disappoint. The spectacular colours surrounding this wonderful temple complex is worth the visit. Monks wander around. The temples are all beautiful to look at. Some are old raw wood, some with colourful paint & artwork. It was lovely to walk around this whole area and soak up the tranquility, surrounding coloured forests & streams, different bridges along the way, you can hear chanting & prayers from one of the temples. We have visited a lot of temples & I initially felt like we were just visiting another one. This was the highlight of our day in Busan. Just spectacularly beautiful.

Jinju is a major city among the regions in South Korea. The town is divided in two by the Nam River (Namgang), with the Jinju Fortress, the city center, most of the hotels, the spread of the residential trade and the intercity bus stop on the north bank. The train station and high-speed bus station are located on the south bank. One of the largest battlefields during the Imagine War, today a historic site and a great, well-kept and well-maintained urban park and there is a good guide to it. The view is great.

One of the very few places in the world to see an intact B-29 bomber, and also has one of just seven remaining C-124 Globemaster II airplanes. This is a comprehensive collection of both korean-made aircraft, and mostly US made aircraft, mostly having been flown either by Korean Air Forces, or in support of korea's defense. If you are a history buff, especially an aviation history buff, this place is a must-see.

This was a good experience to visit this temple as I’m Indonesian. According to some articles, The best time to visit this area is spring as I have just visited this temple in the early autumn. The original temple buildings were all destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592-1598), with the current buildings having been erected in 1632. . We need to walk some distance as we didn't drive. However, it was a nice pleasant walk. This is an old Korea temple with quiet atmosphere in a secluded site.

Due to construction, I had to take a long way around, but it was worth it. The park, dedicated to the revered warrior Yi Sun-shin, is gorgeous. The rolling green hills that look out onto the sea is lovely. Come for the huge statue of Sun-shin and stay for the visitas. You can even scramble down and walk along a little stretch of rocky beach. I suggest going in the spring or fall. I went in August and nearly got heatstroke!
