Not easy to get to, this temple (Rock Buddha Temple) in Busan is pretty amazing. Today’s photo doesn’t do it justice as you can’t tell how large these carvings are, but when standing in between them, if you look up and around, you will be in awe.

If you have a car, the hike is only 10 minutes or so from the parking place. If you are coming via cablecar from Geumgang Park, the hike is a good one but staying on the right path can be a challenge.

Two years ago I was in need of a reprieve of Korean city life. I found it in the mountains next to Busan via Geumgang Park’s (금강공원) cablecar.
