Hwangnyongsa Temple Site – Echoes of a Lost Wonder ✨⛩️

#postandearn #stunningview Once the largest Buddhist temple in Korea, the Hwangnyongsa Temple stood as a symbol of the Silla Dynasty’s spiritual and architectural grandeur. Built in the 6th century, it was home to a magnificent 9-story wooden pagoda, which reached nearly 80 meters high, making it one of the tallest structures of its time in Asia. Though the temple was destroyed during the Mongol invasions in the 13th century, the site still radiates history and reverence. Visitors can walk among the stone foundations, relics, and expansive grounds, imagining the majesty of a place once considered a spiritual heart of the nation. Today, the Hwangnyongsa Temple Site is a UNESCO World Heritage location, offering a journey into Korea’s golden past, where faith and culture flourished in harmony. 🌸 #postandearn #hwangnyongsa #silladynasty #koreanheritage #unescoworldheritage #sacredsites
