And here I thought nothing in Korea could outdo the big fellow at Songnisan.

Thanks for alerting me to one more place in Korea that I need to visit.

Anyway, thanks for the link, Chris, and I'm glad you found it okay. Except for the couple posts I did, I've found nothing about it in English. The statue is quite new as is that half of the grounds, but I'm not sure what significance the temple had before. I'm also very interested to know where it got the money for the statue and the other new features. It and the decorations are, interestingly, both the result of a lot of money and the cause for a lot of new donations. The temple is still very much off the beaten path, though, for Koreans and expats alike.
