Sometimes it's hard to relax in Korea, but there are many peaceful spots where you can just soak in some sun and enjoyt the view without leaving the city. Korean temples are on of my favorite places to visit. There are temples everywhere and within them it is always peaceful and quiet. You feel calm when you enter and recharged when you leave.
Normally the best temples are located in the mountains and require you to hike there, we don't always have the time or energy to do this. However, today I found one in the city next to a popular river. I just had to check it out and I'm really glad I did.
Here are some pictures of this relaxing experience.
Upon entering you have to take off your shoes. The smooth polished wood feels old but well taken care of. Sitting down and just enjoying the view almost makes you forget you are in the city. Every one just sit and talk quietly while enjoying the peaceful view.
The roof is all hand painted and lying on the cool floor looking up really makes you appreciate the time and effort it took to paint it all.
Was nice to see some family's also coming out and enjoying some tradition Korean games. Spending some quality time away from the city rush is always a good way to relax. Taking time enjoy the little things in life that we sometimes take for granted.

A wide angle view of it all.
Take some time to relax every once in a while. Take a break, even from Steemit. Enjoy the little things and go spend time with your family. We all need a break from time to time.
