 : I hope you use this path when you really need it. I guess this way would be blocked, if it is used many times... 

: You are going to encounter three ways. And if you choose middle way, you are going to see a path looking like a valley. 

Tongdosa Hidden path

If you see the bamboos, you are going on a right way

You are going to see these after the bamboo

And finally the path to Tongdosa

It's a milestone.

Amja Soonrekil

Lotus Light lined...

There are many tall trees like these

And on the way there are stones with letters carved

Yes, it's Tongdosa

It seems close

Parking lot full of cars

Now, I came to Tongdosa

: The tall and thick trees and the stream were really good. The tall trees are very rare in Korea, which means they are well preserved. We should keep these trees....

 : If you are not a citizen of Yangsan, you are going to need to pay for entrance. The fee is 3,000 won for adult. If you drive a car there, you are going to pay 2,000 won more for parking. This is not the only path to enter. It's mountain. There are more ways to....

: And you are going to see another view. If you go right in front of the gate, you are going to see a temple and street with cherry blossoms...

The entrance fee and the parking lot fee

You can see these through the spacious parking lot...

A building looks like an old temple

Cherry blossom

You are going to see this kind of way

From here, you have to go left

And then a path into a wood

Covered with buds

: If you go in this way, you are going to see Tongdosa, which I was sure when I walked on this way.

 : 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.

: 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

Tour map of Yangsan City

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

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

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....
