 : Tongdosa has many aspects. It also has some commercial traits. It's a little bit disappointing. Even though there are many visitors.

: The value, it's harder to keep it than to make. Yes, this is the reason the upper class endeavours to keep their wealth.

 : I could see a wise choice they made at Tongdosa. They choose to preserve as it was, not to decorate them for appearance.

 Keeping the old


: I could feel the old. I thank for their decision. 



Building embraced the history

 : I came to see how the temple, Tongdosa is quite popular in Korea. And then it came to have the Tongdo Fantasia, an amusement park built long ago. It's one of the three representative budhist temple in Korea.


 Beomosa in Busan, and Pyochungsa in Milyuang and Tongdosa in Yangsan... There are lots of temples in Korea. Among the temples I've visited, this is the best I think.

 One day in April, the Tongdosa, the entrance and the surroundings


: The parking lot is huge. You wouldn't worry about the parking if you visited here week days. But the parking lot inside is full of cars... 



The parking lot

Cars parked on the road even there is a spacious parking lot


: The inside has some.... thing... inconvenient?

 The surroundings


The entrance





Sinpyoung Central Street, it's called 'Tongdo Art Street'



But no people visible


And signpost saying, for rent






: I guess, it would be built for making some money using the Tongdosa.... The commercialism invaded the historical place... this ruins the real value of Tongdosa.... The core is the beautiful nature and the old temples.... for which people come to seek peace and sooth... Yes, it should be preserved as it is now....
