Set in a hilly surrounding with pine trees, the temple complex of Bulguksa is proof of the advanced development of the Silla era with its temples, wood painting, bell, and other delicate pieces of art.
Unfortunately, the delicately carved stone stairs are closed for the public, and I had to take a back entrance. I arrived at the main courtyard and immediately saw that one of the national treasures inside this Unesco World Heritage Site, the stone pagoda of Dabotap, was completely covered for repair. Seokgatap, the other stone pagoda, was visible, and a peek inside Daeungjeon temple revealed a golden Buddha image. From here, I continued exploring, seeing other temples like Geuknakjeon, Birojeon, and Gwaneumjeon, as well as the bell tower and sarira stupa.
