Whispers of the Temple – Join a Day at Magoksa

What sound of nature reminds you most of summer?

The lively chorus of cicadas fills the day, and the gentle chirping of crickets fills warm summer nights.

As autumn approaches, if you're curious about the sounds of nature, join The Pylon Club on a trip to Magoksa Temple. 🍂🍁

Feel the cool breeze, listen to the whispers carried by the wind.

Take time to experience a Korean temple and listen to your inner voice. 💙

Just 2 hours from Seoul, 'Magoksa' is one of Korea's representative temples, located in Chungcheongnam-do Province.

Nestled on the eastern slope of the scenic Taehwasan Mountain, this place transforms into a colorful canvas throughout the four seasons.

🎒 Things to Prepare

• Sneakers or comfortable walking shoes - Please wear shoes that are comfortable for your feet. There are both dirt paths and paved roads.
• Light jacket - You might get hot while walking or doing other activities, but the weather can be unpredictable in the mountains. To avoid catching a cold from the wind when you're sweaty, please prepare a light windbreaker or similar outerwear.
• Handkerchief or tissues - You can use these when you sweat.
• Personal trash bag - Unfortunately, there are no trash cans. Please prepare a small bag to hold your personal trash.
• 1 personal water bottle or camping cup - There are mineral springs flowing in various places. If you're thirsty, you can drink the Magoksa valley water from springs around Magoksa. There are shared cups at the springs, but we recommend bringing your own cup!
• Snacks like chocolate - You might need energy while walking the mountain forest path, so please prepare energy bars according to your physical condition.
• Backpack - It's better to have both hands free while moving. We recommend putting all your items in a small backpack while walking.
