About this place

Jogyesa (조계사) is the first Buddhist Temple which is located inside the Seoul Fortress Wall. Locating inside the fortress wall has special meaning that all the temples were located in the mountain. It is head quarter of Jogyejong sect - there are some sect in Buddhism.

Around Buddha's birthday, there is beautiful lotus lantern festival. My second picture is that scene. There is 600 years old white pine tree in the temple.

One another point to see is the first office and head office of post. It is just next to the temple. It is one of the core of the modern history where the modernity movement was started here.
