Korea Tourist Attraction - Gyeonggi-do Province (part 1) - YongMunSa Temple (용문사)

YongMunSa Temple (용문사) is in YangPyeong(양평), Gyeonggi-do Province (경기도), South Korea. You can take subway from Seoul and go to YongMun station(용문역) and take taxi to YongMunSa Temple. YongMunSa Temple is famous for its 1000 years old Ginkgo tree.

 Stone towers are very common in temples in Korea. Stone towers are made for commemorate well thought of monk. You can see actual stone tower in YongMunSa Temple.

I couldn't find temple that was refreshing near Seoul. Most of my favorite temples are far away from Seoul. However, I could feel the same feeling when I visited this temple. I recommend foreigners to visit here if you can't go far away from Seoul but want to feel the real Korean temple and see magnificent 1000 years old Ginkgo tree .
