I visit a lot of places with my friends and this was one of them :) we really enjoyed this place, it’s funny that it is in the middle of Gangnam, surrounded by all these tall and new buildings.. But once you’re in the temple you don’t really notice that it’s in busy Gangnam…
It really is a must visit! Just walking around, taking pictures and enjoying the sun For the students that read this… no entrance fee ;) You can enjoy this amazing spot for free

Beautiful, in the middle of the city, calm, and not busy. I had heard of it long time ago but never went because I thought it would just be another temple. To my surprise, it was really beautiful, and there were a couple cherry blossom trees.
At the entrance there's a small souvenir shop that sells very cheap buddhist themed items
