Looking over Jeonju


Yesterday, along with some American visitors to Jeonju I was taken to a Buddhist temple in the mountains overlooking the city. The temple has been there since about 865 AD. We could hear a monk inside chanting but did not see him. There are several temple buildings high on the hill overlooking the city.

Behind the temple are steps leading high up, where I took this photograph. Others in our group climbed higher over rocks to get a better view - but I was happy with my view! The air was a bit smokey/dusty - there has been no rain for several weeks.
