Expectation: We had visited this temple earlier as well.This was our 2nd visit to the temple.
Its a nice place to spend 2-3 hours.Its located on Yunwha Mountain and is quite scenic.
Its little different from typical indoor buddha temples of Korea. The whole area looks more of a tourist location in contrast to traditional temple where we see lots of priests and people worshiping.

Beyond Expectation:
(a) The scenic beauty of the place steals you away from the hustle bustle of busy city life.
(b) This is a good place to be added to your itnerary if you are visiting Korean folk village or other nearby attraction. It would take around 2-3hrs to completely see the place.
Below Expectation:
There are a few Korean restaurant in that place but no other alternatives for food. Better carry your own food.
