By Dana Meyers Hiking is a popular leisure activity in Seoul, especially in the spring when the weather is starting to get warmer from winter but not yet unbearably hot as in summer. This photo was taken while hiking in Seoul's Bukhansan National Park during the week of Buddha's Coming, during which many colourful lanterns line the streets and light up the night. We arrived at this temple having thought we lost our way, but the rhythmic chanting emanating from within drew us onto the correct path, where I took this photo.
