Hidden Gem in the Hills

#summervacay Suamsa Temple was such a peaceful little escape! Tucked away in the hills of Chungcheongbuk-do, it wasn’t packed with tourists, which made the whole visit feel even more special. The walk up to the temple is super easy and relaxing, with trees lining the path and birds chirping like you're in some kind of zen nature playlist. The temple buildings are beautifully aged, giving off that classic, calm Korean temple vibe. There’s a quiet stream nearby, and the soft sound of water plus the fresh air? Total stress detox. I even found a spot to sit and just chill for a while, no rush, no noise, just good vibes. Honestly, it’s not flashy or big, but that’s kind of the charm. If you’re into calm strolls, low-key nature, and peaceful corners of Korean culture, Suamsa is worth a stop. Bring a snack, enjoy the breeze, and let the temple’s stillness do its thing.
