Do you remember that I had a day trip a couple of weeks ago? I started with Seosan city then visited International Tulip Festival, and in the end, I have been to Ganwoldo. And I will tell you about that beautiful place now.
First of all, there is an amazing view. Despite on wind, I enjoyed each minute spent there.
One of the main attractions here is a Ganwolam
The monk Naong said that he gave him the name of Muhak by saying that he had ‘nothing to learn anymore. After realization, the temple was named Ganwolam, and the name of the island was also called Ganwoldo.
Ganwolam is a temple that is over 500 years old, but it is very regrettable that the traces of its annual rings are nowhere to be seen.
Arriving on the island, you will see women on the shore selling various seafood. The island is really magical. It is impossible to reflect all its beauty and magic through words or photos. You need to visit it by yourself and feel the atmosphere.
Next week May 19th is a Buddha’s birthday, so Buddhist temples are decorated with lantern lamps. Also, you can see lantern lamps on the streets around Korea.
