During the week, or at least on this particular day there were at least four separate pre-schools taking field trips to Jikjisa. They have matching backpacks too! I couldn't resist several pictures.
The main Buddha hall and two pagodas from the Shilla Dynasty that had been relocated to Jikjisa.
A San Shin - or mountain spirit.
My hair is looking about like the kid in the middle with pursed lips.

Om. One thing I had never noticed before is all the Sanscrit painted in the details of the temple. This is on a door at Jikjisa.
Another Shilla era Pagoda. I believe there are four total on the temple grounds. All have been relocated here from else where in the province.
This was part of a closed area of the temple, it's some kind of lecture hall. It's one of the largest buildings I've ever seen in a temple.
More Sanscrit not so hidden in the details.
