4576 - Incheon, South Korea

The sender comes from Incheon, but he card comes from Busan. The photo shows Bukcheonsa temple in Yeodgdo. 

Bokcheonsa Temple 복천사 is a historic Korean Buddhist temple on the slopes of Bongnaesan Mountain in Yeongdo, Busan, overlooking the harbour and sea. Traditionally associated with the late-Goryeo monk Naong, it combines an old temple heritage with an unusually scenic hillside setting and is designated as one of Busan’s traditional temples. 

Tradition holds that Naong (나옹화상) founded the temple in the late Goryeo period, although the precise date and circumstances are uncertain. It was historically known as Haeunam (해운암) and later Bokcheonam before taking its present name; in 2008, it was designated Traditional Temple No. 31. 

Bokcheonsa is especially significant for its collection of Buddhist paintings, ritual objects, and texts. Its holdings include the Ksitigarbha and Ten Kings Painting, Amitabha Pure Land Assembly Painting, Josanggyeong, and other designated Busan cultural heritage; the temple's important collection survived a destructive 2011 landslide because much of it was stored safely at the time. 

The location is a major part of Bokcheonsa's appeal: the temple occupies a steep hillside above Yeongdo, creating broad views toward Namhangdaegyo Bridge, the harbor, and the sea. Sunset is particularly associated with the temple, when the traditional buildings and lanterns contrast with Busan's bridges and dense urban landscape below.
