Bongeunsa (봉은사) is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Korea. It’s founded in 794 and gone through difficult times as Buddhism was repressed for a long period in Korean history (it’s now the biggest religion though).
Bongeunsa is also one of the few temples in Seoul that offers short term temple-stay program which is pretty popular among foreigners.

I only passed by this temple, because it was evening and I tried to find Apgujeong… Wish I’d stay longer and see the temple. But then again, I wanna visit Seoul again one day :)
