the main building at the Miraesa temple complex located on top of Mt. Mireuksan. inside were several large statues of buddha, lots of lighted candles, and mats for people to bow on.
these are sticks with carved faces on them. they're lined up in front of the temple entrance and are sort've a warning for outsiders to stay away.
these little buddha statues are all around the temple. you can put coins in their hands or put a rock on top of a pile (if you don't have money) to make a wish.
more ocean and islands
aerial view of Tongyeong
a view of some of the surrounding islands from the top of Mt. Mireuksan. we took a cable car to the top of the mountain, a very popular touristy thing to do in Tongyeong.
this is a memorial to Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a Korean commander famous for his victories against the Japanese navy in the late 16th century. apparently a lot of the naval battles were fought not far off the coast of Tongyeong...this memorial is just a few minutes away from our apt.
