Weekend Healing at a Temple

Goseong Okcheon Temple, located in the serene foothills of Yeonhwa Mountain in Goseong County, Gyeongsangnam-do, is a tranquil thousand-year-old temple perfect for a weekend getaway. As you walk along the trail lined with lush cypress trees from the entrance, the sound of clear water from the valley and the mountain breeze naturally drown out the noise of daily life. Upon reaching the temple, the neatly arranged courtyard in front of the Daeungjeon Hall and the surrounding nature create a calming atmosphere. Near the parking lot at the entrance, you can take a break by the valley, enjoying the refreshing sound of the water, making it a great spot for families with children. The picturesque forest trail is also ideal for photography, resembling a watercolor painting. Inside the temple, there are meditation camps and temple stay programs, offering not just sightseeing but a chance for true relaxation. If you’re looking for a meaningful weekend retreat to walk amidst nature, stay quietly, and clear your mind, Goseong Okcheon Temple comes highly recommended. 😊 📍 471-9 Yeonhwa Mountain 1-ro, Gaecheon-myeon, Goseong County, Chungnam
