Wonderful decorated Jogyesa Temple Ground, Seoul

Jogyesa Temple visited during decoration time in the evening.

Jogyesa (Korean: 조계사; lit. Jogye Temple) is the chief temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. The building dates back to the late 14th century and became the order’s chief temple in 1936. It thus plays a leading role in the current state of Seon Buddhism in South Korea.

The temple was first established in 1395, at the dawn of the Joseon Dynasty; the modern temple was founded in 1910 and initially called “Gakhwangsa”. The name was changed to “Taegosa” during the period of Japanese rule, and then to the present name in 1954.

Jogyesa is located in Gyeonji-dong [ko], Jongno-gu, in downtown Seoul. Natural monument No. 9, an ancient white pine tree, is located within the temple grounds. Jogyesa Temple is located in one of the most popular cultural streets in Seoul, Insa-dong, near the Gyeongbokgung Palace.

This temple participates in the Templestay program, where visitors can sign up to experience the life of Buddhist monks at the temple, eat Buddhist food, and learn the history of the temple and of Korean Buddhism as a whole.

Walking Seoul at the Cheonggyecheon Stream at night time.

Originally, the Cheonggyecheon Stream flowed naturally, with water cascading from Inwangsan Mountain. While it served as a local resource for Seoul, it also posed a hazard to residents during monsoon seasons, often causing flooding.

During the Joseon Dynasty, efforts were made to update and reconstruct the riverside, aiming to facilitate easier usage. However, the river’s condition deteriorated during the Japanese occupation from 1910 to 1945, becoming polluted and unsightly.

Following the Korean War in 1953, urbanization led to increased pollution as more people moved to the city of Seoul, exacerbating the problem. Subsequently, in 1958, construction commenced to cover the river entirely with an elevated motorway, effectively concealing it from view for the next 25 years.

However, in 2003, Mayor of Seoul Lee Myung Bak initiated a project to remove the highway and restore the Cheonggyecheon stream. The full impact of this endeavor only became apparent upon completion of the construction. As the road was dismantled and nature reintroduced to downtown Seoul, along with the pumping of 120,000 tonnes of water, the restoration project yielded numerous benefits for both locals and the city of Seoul
