A quiet morning walk at Seonamsa Temple in South Korea
Our take
| | I recently visited Seonamsa Temple in Suncheon, South Korea. Seonamsa is a historic Buddhist temple located on Jogyesan Mountain and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site “Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Monasteries in Korea.” Early in the morning the temple was incredibly quiet. The only sounds were flowing water from the valley stream, birds in the forest, and the wind moving through the trees. One of the most beautiful places there is Seungseon Bridge, an elegant stone arch bridge crossing the clear mountain stream. Standing there, the whole place felt calm and timeless. If you're curious about the atmosphere, I filmed a slow walk through the temple with only natural sounds. I filmed a slow walk through the temple with only natural sounds so people could experience the peaceful atmosphere there. [link] [comments] |

- The peaceful forest path leading to Naesosa Temple in South KoreaI recently visited Naesosa Temple in Buan, South Korea. One of the most memorable parts of the temple is the long forest path that leads to the entrance. Walking under the tall trees early in the morning felt incredibly peaceful. Since it’s spring, the temple grounds were also filled with beautiful cherry blossoms, which made the whole place feel even more special. I tried to capture the atmosphere by filming a slow walk through the forest path and the temple area with only natural sounds. I'm still learning how to film these kinds of videos, so the camera may be a little shaky in some parts, but I hope it still shows the quiet feeling of the place. submitted by /u/According-Mix-8044 [link] [comments]
- A quiet temple above the clouds in South KoreaLast weekend, I woke up before sunrise to visit a small mountain temple called Sujongsa Temple. When I arrived, the entire valley below was covered in clouds. As the sun came up, the mountains slowly revealed themselves through the mist—it felt like standing above the world. It wasn’t just the view though. The silence up there was something else. No crowds, no noise—just wind, birds, and stillness. It’s not the easiest place to reach early in the morning, but if you ever visit Korea and enjoy quiet, scenic spots, this is definitely worth it. (I recorded some of the experience while I was there—happy to share if anyone’s interested.) submitted by /u/According-Mix-8044 [link] [comments]
