Many people head straight to Gyeongbokgung Palace, one the oldest and largest temples in Seoul, but this quiet temple in the Gangam neighborhood of Seoul is much less crowded and just as beautiful. The grounds are free to enter and walk around in and the walkways are often strung with thousands of colorful lanterns!  The temple is located across from the Coex Mall which just opened a huge 50,000 book library, so make sure to check that out while in Gangnam.
