After that, we walk around the temple. We can see many of Budha statue with different pose. There's a meaning between the pose, but I'm not remember.

It took approximately 30 minutes to 1 hours in here. There's a stone build too.

The scene is beautiful. Especially because it's Autumn.
After the stone building, you will found this scene.

The famous leaf in Korean, Maple leaf. When it's autumn, it will turn colour to red and yellow.

The situation is so peaceful. If you looking for relaxing and peaceful place, this is the one. While enjoy the scenery, you can feel the peaceful of the temple.

Actually, there's another place near Bulguksa, it's Seokgoram Grotto. But our time didn't make it. The last bus is 17:40. It's 15:40 now, and we are afraid we didn't make it to take bus at 17:40 to back to the city. So we decided to go back to the city now.
