Instead of typing out the description of Songgwang-sa Temple, I just took a picture of the board explaining it. Easy.

So here are the pictures....

This is a carving of a warrior. He, and three others, are guarding the entrance to the Temple area. There were also four giant mud sculptures of warriors guarding the main Temple. I wish this picture showed the size of them. I was blown away!! The little statue seen at the foot of the bigger one was about 3.5-4 ft tall. As you can see, he isn't much taller than the larger statue's lower leg.

The scenery to the Temple is absolutly amazing. So green and natural.

Songgwang-sa Temple.

Two Buddha statues are inside, along with other statues. This is one of the oldest Temples in Korea. And it holds many Korean treasures and relics.

This is a monk in one of the buildings. You can actually stay on the Songgwang-sa grounds. There is an area designated for visitors wanting to do a three day stay.

Next we went to an ancient Korean village. The locals stayed in the original housing, seen in the photos. They were litterally mud and brick huts. They made all pottery and other items right there in stone ovens. The first picture is a couple taking water to their crops in a tractor. This

isn't a Cat D-8 either.

This was a building in the middle of the town. Much like the structure of the Songgwangsa Temple, but not as kept up.
