A relaxing trip walking along Surit-gil

In Gunpo, Surit-gil, which contains stories, has been created around Surisan Mountain and throughout the city center. Among them, the Pyeongsangsori Road is a 5km section that starts from Surisan Station, passes Surisan Forest Bathing Area, and reaches Surisa Temple, a thousand-year-old temple. The course from the forest bathing area to Surisa Temple is about 3km, which is not long, but it is enough to feel the beauty of Surisan Mountain.

Details

This temple was founded during the reign of King Jinheung of Silla and is located on the southwestern slope of Surisan Mountain. Afterwards, a royal descendant was said to have seen Buddha in person while praying at this temple, so the name of the mountain was Bulgyeonsan Mountain, but in the 1940s, the name was changed to Surisan Mountain after the temple. The road outside the entrance to Surisa Temple is lush with forests and runs along a valley, so the scenery is excellent, and Surisan Mountain, which surrounds the temple, gives the impression of a folding screen.\n

Lunch (Gunpo Restaurant, Solhyanggi)

\nBrisket soup made with care and light and tender boiled pork. In addition, the brisket bossam with bossam kimchi is a delicacy that can only be tasted at this restaurant, and it is a famous restaurant in Gunpo that became even more famous as President Park Chung-hee frequented it in the past. From the exterior of an old building with 50 years of history to the savory taste of rice rolled in an earthen pot, this is a place where you can encounter excellent craftsmanship as deep as its long history.
