What people say

Cindy Bouron
"Le style architectural du temple Yakcheonsa rappelle celui des temples bouddhistes du début de la dynastie Joseon. D'une hauteur impressionnante de 30 mètres et d'une superficie totale de 3 305 mètres carrés, il s'agit du plus grand temple d'Asie. En entrant dans le temple Yakcheonsa, les visiteurs sont accueillis par une statue de Vairocana de 5 mètres de haut, la plus haute statue de ce type en Corée, sur un piédestal de 4 mètres de haut. Les murs de droite et de gauche ont été sculptés pour former de grands portraits de Bouddha sur l'autel et, devant le Dharma Hall, se trouve une cloche de temple bouddhiste géante, pesant 18 tonnes. Aimé pour sa taille et sa grandeur, le temple se compose d'un temple principal (2 652 mètres carrés) et d'une structure résidentielle de trois étages pour les moines bouddhistes. Les autres sites remarquables sont le Gulbeopdang (la salle du Dharma, construite à l'intérieur d'une grotte naturelle), le sanctuaire Samseonggak et la pagode Sarira. Le temple de Yakcheonsa n'est pas seulement populaire parmi les bouddhistes, c'est aussi une destination touristique très prisée."
