Step away from the city's hustle and find a surprising moment of peace at Jogyesa Temple, the heart of Korean Zen Buddhism right in central Seoul. You'll be greeted by the sight of colorful lanterns and the calming scent of incense. Don't miss the impressive main hall, home to three giant golden Buddha statues, and be sure to look for the ancient lacebark pine and scholar trees that have stood on these grounds for centuries, offering a tranquil canopy.
