Exploring Eunpyeong Hanok Village in Seoul
Hello.
This is my travel diary where I record memorable trips.
I recently traveled to Eunpyeong-gu in Seoul.
Eunpyeong-gu is a familiar neighborhood, and I visited the Hanok Village.
Shall we take a look at Eunpyeong Hanok Village, located at 7-10, Yeonseo-ro 50-gil, Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul?
Memorable Travel
I walked to Eunpyeong Hanok Village.
On the way, I saw Metasequoia trees around Hana High School.
The scenery was beautiful, so I took a photo.
The trees were colorful, and in the background, I could see Bukhansan Mountain.
The view of the red maple trees and Bukhansan is truly magnificent.
The scenery of the Hanok Village is stunning.
Various restaurants were located near the entrance.
There is also the Eunpyeong History Hanok Museum,
and I recommend visiting it for a look.
The museum is large and has many interesting exhibits.
After leaving the museum, I wandered around to explore the Hanok.
Isn't the view of Bukhansan harmonizing with the trees just wonderful?
There is a Jinkwan Wild Animal and Plant Protection Area.
Since it's a natural ecological protection area, it would be good to avoid restricted activities.
There was a gathering place where I could obtain various information.
Do you know about the Taegeukgi at Jinkwansa Temple?
There is a comprehensive guide map for the Bukhansan trail,
which is essential for hiking enthusiasts!
Many people also hike Bukhansan when they think of Seoul.
There was ample parking available.
With just a smartphone, you can enjoy the audio guide of Jinkwansa Temple.
On the way up, I noticed red trees among the lush green ones.
Jinkwansa Temple, belonging to the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, is one of the four major temples near Seoul.
The path is divided into a road and a sidewalk, allowing for safe passage.
I entered Bukhansan National Park.
There was a place called Baekcho-wol Road.
Reading the story of the Taegeukgi will help you understand Jinkwansa Temple better.
There is also a garden of the heart, which serves as a resting space.
After passing the Guknak Bridge at Jinkwansa, you will be welcomed by the Amitabha Buddha at the Liberation Gate.
On the opposite side, I thought there might be a hiking trail.
Water flows under the bridge,
and I took a photo because the scenery was beautiful.
Jinkwansa Temple is renowned for its beautiful scenery and spacious grounds.
The weather was clear, perfect for temple exploration!
I wandered around, gathering information about what was there and what stories existed.
This is the main hall, known as Daeungjeon.
It was very convenient to scan the QR code to learn more about the stories.
On one side, there seemed to be a place for burning firewood.
There were also informative texts related to Jinkwansa Temple,
which I read one by one.
Indeed, there are always beautiful paintings when you visit a temple.
It was enjoyable to admire the artwork.
The Taegeukgi of Jinkwansa Temple
As mentioned earlier, it was designated as a treasure in 2021.
It contains materials related to the independence movement by Monk Baekcho-wol.
On May 26, 2009, new materials related to the independence movement were discovered,
which surprised the world!
There were old Taegeukgi flags and 20 signed independence newspapers.
I wonder what the contents are.
There were various Buddha statues.
As a cultural heritage protection area, smoking and acts of damage are prohibited.
You should only observe with your eyes.
This was a statue in the Doksungjeon Hall.
In the Nahanjeon Hall, there was a brief explanation,
and detailed information could be viewed by scanning the QR code,
which was very well done.
This is the Myeongbujeon Hall.
As expected from one of the four major temples, the informative texts were well presented.
In another hall, there was a stone statue,
but I don't know what it's called.
There were various informative texts about Jinkwansa Temple, including temple stay options,
and you will feel time fly as you read and explore.
