South Korea
Ganghwado
Jeondeungsa temple

This is one of the oldest and most important temples in Korea today. The original temple was constructed in the 4th century. In the 13th century the second set of the Tripitakea Koreana was carved. It consists of 81.258 wooden blocks which spell out the Buddist sutras. Later they were moved to the Haeinsa Temple, and you can have a look at them there - or visit on my homepages from the visit there. The temple is within the Samnangseong fortress.
