Seokguram Grotto

Nestled high atop a mountain is Korean National Treasure #24. Seokguram Grotto was first constructed in 751. In the round main hall is a Buddha, surrounded various other figures. The doors, which face the East Sea are opened just before dawn. As the sun rises, it illuminates the Buddha. It's truely breathtaking!
