There are lots of places in South Korea that have giant and impressive structures that people visit all the time. Take for example the Bongeunsa (봉은사), which is a Buddhist temple that contains a large Buddha statue with a square tile over its head.

The Naksansa Temple (낙산사) is famous for its representation of a female Buddha Goddess named Haesugwaneumsang (해수관음입상). It’s one of those monuments that would be great for postcards, don’t you think?

A lot of people may not realize this, but there are lots of huge statues that are famous tourist spots like Beopjusa (법주사). Beopjusa is famous for its large golden statue of the Buddha.

Remember, you don’t have to a Buddhist to appreciate the grand size of these gigantic statues. These statues are awe inspiring to look at, especially the Buddha at the Donghwasa (동화사). The Donghwasa is a Korean temple known for its long ear-lobed Buddha.

Don’t forget Beomeosa (범어사), which is known for its large golden seated Buddha. There are also several minor sized statues that are placed before the greatest sized statue of the Buddha. Kinda neat, don’t you think?

Okay this is the last one, I promise. This one is from Shinheungsa (신홍사), which is a temple known for its Tongil Daebu (통일대분), which can be translated as “Great Unification Buddha”. It represents the South Korean’s people’s wish to be a unified country with North Korea.
