Today I went to Mudeungsan in Gwangju with Umer. Its a mountain in the east of the city which has several temples and Uijae art museum. It was a rainy day and we took bus no. 9 infront of the GIST and got off at the last stop Jungsimsa Temple. It takes an hour to reach there. The view of the mountain in this season is very nice as there is a lot of greenery all around. To hike the mountain needs a lot of stamina which we did not have so we did not go to the top, instead returned from the mid. But on the way there is a temple from which the view of the top of mountain is marvellous.

The Jungsimsa temple is near the base of the mountain and is a big temple.

On the way back we took bus 51 and got off at GIST after an hour. It was raining heavily.
