A Magical Winter Scene in Buyeo
On the second day of our Buyeo trip, after enjoying a hearty lunch, we headed to one of the most historic landmarks in Buyeo—Jeongnimsa Temple’s Five-Story Pagoda. This ancient site is a UNESCO-listed treasure and one of the finest examples of Baekje-era Buddhist architecture.
The day of our visit was particularly special because fresh snow had fallen, covering the temple grounds in a beautiful white blanket. The combination of the snowy landscape and the ancient stone pagoda created an unforgettable winter scene.

As we walked toward the site, the contrast between the pure white snow and the dark stone structure made the pagoda appear even more majestic.
The site was incredibly peaceful, with very few visitors due to the cold weather, making it feel like we had stepped into a timeless winter wonderland.
