Seokbulsa temple

SEOKBULSA TEMPLE Buddhist temple in Busan perched on the hill This remote temple meaning “Stone Buddha Temple” is a hidden gem in Busan and it ended up being one of my favorite places we visited the entire trip. Other than a handful of other visitors, we had the place mostly to ourselves, but getting there does require a light 20-30 minute hike from the parking lot. What makes Seokbulsa so special are the giant stone buddha carvings lining both sides of the temple. On a clear day, if you climb the steps at the back of the temple, you’ll also get stunning skyline views of Busan, though it was a little hazy out the day we visited.
