Bulguksa temple & Royal Tomb (Chunmacheong)
Andong
,
South Korea
The Bulguksa temple is said to be the nicest temple of Korea. It really is. Specially when you think that it has been built in 751 and destroyed 2 times during japanese invasions.

Some prayers are attached to those red globes on the ceiling of the temples.
Here, some "details" I liked during my visit.
Then a small visit to the royal tombs (Chunmacheong). The small hill you see here is where the tomb is. One has been opened to show to the public. This is the one of an unknown king from the Silla Kingdom. You can see replicas of golden jewels, weapons found there with the king.
I was told that servants and the whole family were buried alive with the king to assist him during his journey. That has changed afterwards.

Before going back to Daegu and before the next storm, I enjoyed the view of this beautiful

of lotus flowers.
