Tongdosa temple

Tongdosa temple north of Busan is my fav so far. Mountain location, a decent drive to avoid most tourist, old, lots of families having fun, clean and went right after sauna so I was relaxed to boot!
According to wiki: Tongdosa is often called "The temple without a Buddha" because it contains no outdoor statues of the Buddha, rather it is arranged around several stupas which contain Jajang's precious gifts, and reputedly, relics of the historical Buddha, including his robe, begging bowl, and a bone from his skull. Don't know about the last bit.
