범어사

Geumjeong, Busan · 부산

Founded in 678 on the slope of Geumjeongsan, with a one-pillar gate, wisteria groves and a working monastic community that runs templestays in English.

Why it’s worth it

It is a genuine mountain temple twenty minutes from a metro station. The wisteria in May and the hike up to the fortress wall from behind it are both worth planning around.
