Bukhansan National Park


We visited the Bukhansan National Park a few weeks ago. It is located just outside of Seoul and is home to huge granite mountains, ancient temples and fortresses, beautiful scenery, and as always in Korea, lots of unique cultural experiences. The park holds the world record for being the national park with the most visitors per square foot and averages 5 million visitors. However, it is still easy to find trails that are virtually secluded from the crowds of hikers. Me and Nathan spent a large part of our day alone wandering through the woods following the faint sound of Buddhist chanting, which ultimately lead us to our first true temple experience and yes, it was amazing.
