A giant Buddha carved in a mountain

This past Saturday I traveled with Pedro Kim and Lonely Korea to Seonunsa Temple in Jeollabukdo Province. Located about an hour and change outside of Gwangju, this temple features a giant Buddha carved into the side of a mountain. The sheer size of this carving makes you feel minuscule next to it.

It was great to get out of Gwangju and see a new part of Korea.  Pedro organizes a bunch of really awesome trips through his Lonely Korea program, so you should check it out if you're interested in meeting new people and seeing new sights!
