Beomeosa Temple
Edit ThisA Buddhist Temple only a mile or so from Pusan, yet totally secluded in the mountains. It is a very good example of a Korean temple.
Take the subway to Beomeosa station. From there it is cheaper and easier to take a taxi, rather than a bus.
The temple is approximately 1500 years old, although it has been destroyed a number of times by Japanese invaders or fire. Each time it has been faithfully rebuilt.
If you only travel to Pusan then this is a must see.
Ensure you visit the Dragon Temple and Golgusa if possible.
