At the Entrance Gate of Muryang-sa Temple in Buyeo city

in #travel6 years ago

Next place I’d like to visit after Beopjoo-sa temple was Muryang-sa temple located in Buyeo which had been the capital of Baekjae dynasty more than 1400 years ago.
The main reason I’d like to stop by was for looking around the main hall of this temple.
As I posted in previous, the hall for Maitreya of Muryang-sa temple was considered one of the 3 great buddhist halls in Korea.

Muryang-sa temple was located far from the down town of Buyeo city. It took about 1 hour to get there from Buyeo city.
As soon as parking my car, I walked to the temple.
Not like other temples, the road to the temple was not so long.

From the parking lot, I could see the entrance gate of the one pillar.
In my thought, this one pillar gate must the one of the best entrance gate among the gates I have ever seen.

Its pillars were thick and old.

The plants were growing over the roof of the gate.

There was hung another name at the opposite side of the gate.
The name of the gate was Gwangmyeong-moon which meant “The Great Light Gate”.
People can see the name of 'Gwangmyeong-moon' when they go out from the temple.
Maybe it was a first time for me to see those case at this gate

There was a small stream along the road to the temple passing by the entrance gate.

I entered into the temple with peaceful mind seeing this old one pillar gate.

@slowwalker, Around the environment of Muryang-sa temple's very peaceful and cool. With green coloring tree shades not feel tired looks. Entrance gate there, feel same looks like previous once. Pillars looks so oldest. But having better historical looks without innovation. Beautiful photo clicks.

Excellent post & wonderful photoshoot-😱😱😱😱

The Stream looks so Peaceful as it runs by the Gate of the Temple.........@slowwalker

Que hermoso, me gustaria viajar por el mundo y conocer culturas. esa puerta es impresionante, gran fotografía

yes that causes visit it @slowwalker it looks very beautiful

the view of the temple is very beautiful and I want to see this temple with my 2 eyes

The way these places were made in midst of the nature and with so much intricate art work really amazes. The Gate still looks grand, wonder what beauty it must have hold in those times

The colours and patterns around the top of the gate are quite intricate, they are very beautiful and it is amazing how vibrant the colours have remained despite the age of the gateway.

It is definitely a sight to behold with wonder, I can see why it would set your mind perfectly for visiting the temple.
