Right in the middle of modern Seoul, a Buddhist haven of peace can be found at Jogyesa temple where century-old traditions survive among the fast-paced city life.
The pace of Seoul is fast, it is a metropole that never sleeps and that can overwhelm the visitor with flashy neon signs, endless shopping opportunities, thick traffic, streets full of people. Just around the beginning of Insadong shopping street, and surrounded by skyscrapers and multi-lane streets full of cars lies the Jogyesa temple complex. It is a Buddhist island in an ocean of concrete. The first Buddhist temple was built here in the 14th century, while the present temple was constructed early 20th century. As soon as you walk into Jogyesa area, you start winding down. The atmosphere is different: the people are serene, the frenzy of the city is lacking completely, and you could well imagine being outside the city altogether.
