Hidden in the Korean mountains, the Haeinsa Temple is a haven for anyone.
It took a several hour train journey from Seoul, a nearly hour and a half bus ride from Taegu, but this took me to Haein-sa Temple, one of the largest temples of the country. It also houses the Tripitaka Koreana, which consists of over 80,000 wooden blocks in which Buddhist scriptures and illustrations are engraved. The housing of the scriptures is in such a way, that they cannot give away their texts to the passing of time. This ventilation system also implies that the blocks are actually visible to the visitor.
