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.
When I walked from the bus station to the entrance of Bulguksa, little could I appreciate of the beauty I would later see inside. On this frosty and sunny winter morning, the trees surrounding Bulguksa were bare, and I could only try to imagine what it would look like in spring. Once inside, I noticed a thin layer of ice on the pond; nevertheless, the outside temperature was comfortable. I crossed a bridge to arrive at the area in front of the complex itself. The complex lies on the lower slopes of Tohamsan mountain, on a higher level. To reach it, there are four stairs, officially called bridges, with 33 steps representing the 33 steps to enlightenment.
