How Have We Never Heard of This Amazing Place in Korea? 🇰🇷 The Best Temple We've Ever Seen

#koreatravel #gyeongju #korea

Hello everyone! Last year we made a lot of random subway adventure videos around the Greater Seoul Area where we spun a roulette and went to whichever subway station it landed on, and now that we live in a van, we can apply the same method for the entire country, so in this video we let luck bring us to our next destination of Ulju-gun (울주군). Here you can find the Yeongnam Alps (영남알프스) which include Gajisan Mountain (가지산) and Sinbulsan Mountain (신불산). Here we explored a beautiful temple called Seongnamsa (석남사), Paraesopokpo Waterfall (파래소폭포), and then drove down to Yangsan City (양산시) where we got to explore one of Korea’s Three Jewels Temples called Tongdosa (통도사) which was filled with Buddhist monks praying and chanting, and the most powerful Buddhist temple experience we had ever felt. To end the adventure, we then went to Eonyang-eub (언양읍) and tried their famous Bulgogi (불고기), before finishing off by looking around the city and checking out the Eonyangeub-seong Fortress (언양읍성) to wrap off an amazing random adventure! Enjoy!
