March 18, 2015. I went to Maisan Provincial Park in Jinan County, Jeollabuk Province, to see one of South Korea’s more unusual temples. The temple by itself looks rather humble, but when put together with the ‘Horse’s Ears’, it looks both dramatic and serene. And what is this Tap-sa that I just mentioned?
