Autumn chrysanthemum festival at this temple

#fallingforfall Autumn colours of Seoul include the colourful chrysanthemum that decorated Jogyesa Temple in Jongno, Seoul. It was a 10 minute walk from our Fraser Suites Hotel in Insadong. How to get here: via Jonggak Station, Subway line 1, exit 3. It would be easy to stop by after a tour of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Huge floral displays using various colors of chrysanthemums decorated the temple grounds. Jogyesa Temple is the chief temple of modern Korean Buddhism and people go there to pray. As visitors, it was interesting to see the beautiful architecture, temple areas and the special display of flowers and bonsai. The Chrysanthemum festival is held every year for about a month. Nearby, the shops sold a variety of comfortable pajamas, calendars, tea ware, and Buddhist art.
