Located at around 680 m above sea level and an hour walking up from Bulguk Sa temple, the Seokguram Grotto is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is a monumental statue of Buddha inside, but I would say the best part of it is the path to reach it. There are many colourful lanterns all the way, and you have a stunning view of the forest and of Gyeonju city on the other side. There you can buy also many souvenirs and religious items. The entrance costs 5000 WON and unfortunately, as in many religious sites, it is not allowed to take pictures inside, but outside is okay. In the other hand, it gives the place a real spiritual vibe and you can see how the locals are praying in front of the statue. #architecture #hiking #views #history #bouddhism #temple #statue #gyeongju #korea
