Personal highlights
- Haedong Yonggungsa: large Buddhist temple complex at the Ocean
- Statues: horoscope animals, lucky pigs, golden Buddha and more
- History: built in 1376, destroyed by the Japanese and rebuilt in 1970
- My trip: taking the city bus from Busan, just to get into a packed temple
- My experience: impressive temple with beautiful statues, but too crowded
