๐ฟ Mudeungsan UNESCO Global Geopark and Wonhyo Temple Templestay ๐ฟ
Discover one of Koreaโs hidden gems, Mudeungsan, and the serene Wonhyo Temple! ๐๏ธ
Mudeungsan is a UNESCO Global Geopark, famous for its striking columnar jointing formations. These awe-inspiring natural rock formations are the result of millions of years of geological activity, making this mountain a truly unique destination. ๐ If you're looking to experience Koreaโs natural beauty in a special way, Mudeungsan is the place to go!
Nestled within the mountain is Wonhyo Temple, a peaceful retreat where you can take part in the Templestay program, open to foreigners. ๐งโโ๏ธ The Templestay offers a rare opportunity to experience Korean Buddhist culture firsthand while finding inner peace in a tranquil environment.
I visited in early October, just as the autumn foliage was beginning to emerge, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. ๐ The colorful fall leaves paired with the templeโs calm surroundings made it the perfect escape from the bustle of city life. If you visit around this time, youโll be able to enjoy Mudeungsan's beautiful autumn landscapes.
If you're planning a trip to Gwangju, donโt miss the chance to experience the harmony of nature and tradition at Mudeungsan and Wonhyo Temple! ๐
