Located on the slopes of Mount Toham is the traditional Bulguksa Temple, also known as ‘Temple of the Buddha Land’. Bulguksa Temple was built in 528 during the Silla Kingdom, in the 15th year of King Beop-Heung's reign (514-540). Bulguksa Temple underwent numerous renovations from the Goryeo Dynasty to the Joseon Dynasty, but was burned down during the Imjin War. It was reconstructed and renovated about 40 times until 1805. Today, Bulguksa Temple is home to many important cultural relics such as Dapotap Pagoda and Seokgatap Pagoda, standing on the east and west sides of the courtyard. Both pagodas add a unique touch to the traditional temple. Seokgatap Pagoda stands at 27 feet tall and is ringed by 8 lotus shape stones symbolising a unique prophecy, while Dobotap Pagoda stands at 34 feet tall, its intricate design representing the complexity of the universe. Bulguksa Temple was designated as a World Cultural Asset by UNESCO in 1995 and is definitely a must-see!
