I arrived at 쌍계사 Ssanggyesa in 지리산 국립공원 Jirisan National Park later than I would have liked, but it took all
morning to get here from Masan... |
Korea
All the trees around 쌍계사 Ssanggyesa are beautiful colors.
|
Leading up into 쌍계사 Ssanggyesa are three gates, 일주문 Iljumun, 금강문 Geumgangmun, and 천왕문 Cheonwangmun. |
Some of the colorful painting on 천왕문 Cheonwangmun.

After seeing Ssanggyesa, I went hiking out to 불일폭포 Bulilpokpo (Bulil Waterfall). It was too late in the day to get
to the standard destination at the peak of 삼신봉 Samsinbong (Samsin Peak), but a short hike was nice enough. |
A beautiful autumn scene.

On my walk back down to the main road, a couple girls were taking take same path. They asked me "Where are you
from?" in the standard Korean-English speach-pattern (slow, but precise). I replied "나는 한국인" ("Naneun Hangukin",
"I Korean"). The girls laughed. |
