Good to know
See the Maitreya Buddha beside the city skyline
- An independent Bongeunsa walk lets you see traditional temple architecture against Gangnam’s modern buildings and the large Maitreya Buddha statue. The statue is a specific stop to look for during a COEX-area visit, without booking a templestay.triple
Visit independently or reserve a programme
- Grounds admission is free; the tourism listing gives daily 05:00–22:00 at 531 Bongeunsa-ro. A templestay programme has its own reservation process and is separate from an independent walk.Visit Korea
Do not rely on festival decorations
- Lantern displays seen in earlier visits are seasonal. For a programme or festival date, use Bongeunsa’s official contact, +82 2-3218-4800.Visit Korea
