Spring Reverence at Bulguksa 🌸🏯✨ A gentle hush lingers over Bulguksa Temple as spring unfurls its softest bloom. The ancient stone pagodas stand serenely beneath clouds of cherry blossoms, their pink petals drifting like whispers across centuries of devotion. Built in the 8th century during the Silla Dynasty, Bulguksa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a crown jewel of Korean Buddhism. Its name means “Temple of the Buddha Land,” and during cherry blossom season, it truly feels otherworldly. In spring, the temple grounds transform into a pastel dream. Fluffy blossoms frame the mossy stone stairways, petals settle in the lotus ponds, and the breeze carries a scent of renewal. What to See: • 🪷 Dabotap and Seokgatap, the iconic twin stone pagodas • 🌉 The elegant Cheongun-gyo Bridge, said to symbolize the path to enlightenment • 🕍 The main Buddha halls and their golden interiors • 🌸 Blossoms surrounding the tranquil lotus pond and stone terraces Visitor Tips: • ⏰ Best bloom: Usually early to mid-April • ☀️ Arrive early morning to beat the crowds and catch the light through the petals • 👟 Wear comfortable shoes—the stone paths and stairs are historic but uneven • 🎟️ Entry fee: 6,000 KRW for adults • 🚌 How to get there: Take bus #10 or #11 from Gyeongju Station (approx. 40 min) #BulguksaTemple #CherryBlossomKorea #SpringInGyeongju #불국사 #경주봄 #KoreaHeritage #TempleInBloom #HiddenKorea #경주벚꽃 #unescoworldheritage
