Manbulsa is a new Buddhist temple located about half-way between Kyeongju and Yeongju.  The temple is trying to gather a collection of 17,000 Buddhist images - they had only 2000 left to go when we were there.

This picture was taken looking southwest out of the small valley in which the temple is located.  The main hall can bee seen in the background on the left.
