Buddhist Temple

A bit further up the narrow concrete road where my friend and I were walking in Gangwon-do, up above the group of houses but in the same general area where I took the pictures in the earlier posts, there if a small Buddist temple.  It makes for a nice walk; the way is fairly steep, yet not too challenging, and the temple is not all that far up, maybe a mile or so.  The road ends there.

Nobody was there when we visited, but there is an audio recording of a monk chanting, so the place doesn't feel lonely.  I can certainly understand why that location was chosen for a temple, as it's very peaceful.
