On a beautiful autumn day, people visit Mudeung mountain in Gwangju, Korea.
As one of the course for hiking, some people start from Wonhyo temple. This temple is located right near the main entrance to the Mudeungsan Provincial Park. It was built at the end of the Shilla Dynasty and after destruction by the Korean War, it was rebuilt from the mid-1950s to the 1960s. It is not a big size temple but with various kinds of trees and fresh air, it is beautiful enough to attract people.

For 15-20 minutes of walk, the paved road is continued. By the end of October, trees become turning into red and brown.
