Geumsunsa Temple in Bukhansan National Park

Geumseonsa Temple is a Buddhist temple situated to the north of central Seoul. It is located not far from Gyeongbokgung Palace and Cheong Wa Dae (The Blue House). Although situated near central Seoul, its location within Bukhansan National Park, sometimes referred to as Samgaksan, makes it feel a world away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Book Recommendations

While The Seoul Guide provides plenty of information about traveling to Seoul, sometimes it helps to bring a book with you on your journey. Want to visit Gwangjang Market, hike Bukhansan National Park, visit an ancient palace, or sing karaoke all night long? The book I always recommend is Fodor's Seoul, which provides expert recommendations including sights to see, restaurant reviews, maps, and essential trip-planning information for everything related to Seoul.
