This is one of the cities that I believe is a "must see". From incredible temples and an ancient stone astronomical observatory, to modern towering buildings, this city has something for everyone.
The Bulguksa Temple is both inspiring as well as breath-taking. Begun by the Prime Minister Kim Dae-seong in 751, the 10th year of the King Gyeongdeck's regin. This temple was restored in 1973 to it's former splendor.
Representing the mastery of Buddhist art of the "Silla" era, the pagodas and temple compound symbolize the "pure Land of Perfect Bliss."
From our campus it is a short train ride to the city and then the local bus system can take you just about anywhere you would want to go. During the peak of the Cherry Blossoms the buses were over crowded and you got to know your bus "neighbor" rather well as everyone is packed in to the point no one can move and you have to crawl over people to exit. Still it's worth the trip. Even enough to go back a second time which I will shortly.
This area is also home of some of the best tasting Korean dishes yo will find.Very friendly people also make this a must see city.
