Gyeongsangbuk-do Tour Reporter Go Ho Jin

 

Unmunsa Temple in Cheongdo is known to be the temple with the best autumn foliage scenery in Gyeongsangbuk-do. If you are looking for a great place to see the autumn foliage, I highly recommend Unmunsa Temple which has a great old ginkgo tree on its ground.

At Unmunsa visitors can enjoy the scenic beauty of autumn and the solemn atmosphere of the temple. Visitors can also have a chance to see a few century old ginkgo tree that with its golden yellow leaves.

It’s known as the symbol of Unmunsa’s autumn. On weekends, the views looks a lot beautiful when many visitors are walking around the temple.

 

While Unmunsa is the largest nunnery in Korea with a total capacity of 250, it is undeniably more popular as a temple with the most beautiful autumn foliage scenery in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Have you been to Unmunsa in autumn? If not, you might want to start planning your trip there.

Though the autumn foliage on the temple ground looks really pretty, there’s a spot just outside the temple that offers a panoramic view of the temple. At this place, one can enjoy the beauty of the temple building as well as the colorful foliage at a glance. How to find this spot? Just take the trail located on the left side of the main entrance and walk towards Bukdaeam Rock (북대암). Once there, enjoy the view as much as you can.
