Nestled in the hills of Seongbuk-dong, Gilsangsa Temple has a unique history as a former upscale restaurant that was donated and transformed into a Buddhist temple. Just minutes from downtown Seoul, it offers a peaceful retreat for quiet walks and reflection, with beautiful seasonal scenery throughout the year.
서울 성북동 산자락에 자리한 길상사는 원래 요정이었던 대연각을 법정 스님에게 시주하여 사찰로 탈바꿈한 특별한 이력을 지니고 있습니다. 도심 속에서 고요한 산책과 명상을 즐길 수 있는 공간으로, 계절마다 다른 정취를 느낄 수 있어 많은 이들이 찾는 힐링 명소입니다.
