Leave Seoul and visit
three temples in Seosan and Yesan

Meet at Namsan Yejang Bus Parking Lot and travel to Seosan and Yesan with a live English-speaking guide. You visit Gaesimsa Temple, the Seosan Maae Samjon Buddha and Sudeoksa Temple, then return to the parking lot where you started. The whole tour takes about 10 hours.

The itinerary also includes a 30-minute photo stop at Seosan Hanwoo Ranch.

Walk around Gaesimsa Temple, surrounded by forest

Spend about 1 hour 30 minutes with your guide at Gaesimsa, regarded as one of the quietest temples in Seosan. You can take in the forest path leading to the temple, its traditional wooden buildings and understated architectural details.

It is less crowded than famous tourist sites, so it is a calm place to appreciate Korean Buddhist architecture.

See the Seosan Maae Samjon Buddha carved in rock

The Seosan Maae Samjon Buddha is a group of three Buddha figures carved into a natural rock face, showing the style of Baekje-period Buddhist sculpture. You see the figures, the rock and the surrounding scenery in their original setting rather than inside a museum.

With your guide, you spend about 1 hour 30 minutes learning about the figures' expressions, forms and history.

Explore Sudeoksa Temple at the foot of Deoksungsan

The last stop is Sudeoksa Temple in Yesan, one of Korea's historic temples with a history of several hundred years, known for its traditional buildings and mountainside setting. Walk the grounds with your guide for about 1 hour 30 minutes and compare its architectural atmosphere with Gaesimsa.
