After relaxing for a while, we headed to Sinheung-sa Temple. Built in the mid 7th century,Sinheung-sa is believed to be the oldest Zen temple in the world. Although its design is similar to the rest of Korea's temples, it was incredibly striking during our visit. The paint used to embellish the wooden structures of the complex seemed to perfectly match the fall foliage and the surrounding mountains transformed the humble temple into something majestic.
