As the name Jikji tells, this park sits adjacent to Jikji Temple in Gimcheon. The play facilities for children were great. The artificial multi-stage waterfalls and fountains, along with the gigantic wooden totem poles, "The Great General Under Heaven" (天下大將軍) and "The Female General Under Ground" (地下女將軍), make for the richness of the park. Most of all, the area is isolated well away from cities' pollution.
On leaving, I saw a "temple stay" banner put up at the entrance of the temple. These days, "temple stay" appears on TV quite often, whether in the form of advertisement or as part of stories, exclusively featuring foreigners to Korea. But on the banner I saw, which is also a sort of advertisement, no word was observed indicating that it was targeting foreigners. So, I wish to join a temple stay at Jikji Temple to find my "true self amongst the harmony of nature."
