Tunnel of Trees to the One Pillar Gate of Bongjeong-sa Temple.

I had to drive for 5 hours getting to Bongjeong-sa temple from Seoul.
5 hours distance is not a short in Korea.
Bur riding a car for 5 hours was so amazing, I could enjoy the mountains and the colors of changing season.

As arriving at the temple, I was so pleased to see the trees around the temple.
I needed to walk through the trees. It was a tunnel of the trees, especially the pines.
The scent of the pines made me feel refreshed.

I walked through the pines slowly to enjoy the feeling of exhilarating.
Of course I took some pics of the pines to share with my steemian friends.
It was a pity that I could not send you the scent of the pines.

After 10 minutes walking, finally I could see the one pillar gate.
The one pillar gate of Bongjeong-sa temple was not splendid but simple and unshophiscated.

Suddenly a question was rising, how this simple architecture could be listed on the UNESCO.
