Inside Seoul’s Ancient 23m GIANT BUDDHA Temple! 🇰🇷 | Bongeunsa, Gangnam
Discover the serene beauty of Bongeunsa Temple in Seoul, South Korea with Latha & Prem Around The World! 🇰🇷✨ Located in the heart of Gangnam, right across from COEX Mall, this 8th-century sanctuary offers a peaceful blend of ancient Buddhist heritage and calm reflection surrounded by modern skyscrapers. Walk with us through the gate guarded by the Four Heavenly Kings and beneath colorful lantern-lined pathways to the main hall, home to three golden Buddha statues symbolizing past, present, and future enlightenment.
