Korea ‘feels’ is just a two-hour drive away from Manila

Any Korean telenovela or K-pop fan would love a chance to visit, take pictures, and get into that Joseon Dynasty feels. Good news is, you can do this here in the Philippines. Bad news though, you have to wait until the lockdowns in the metro and the nearby provinces are lifted.

Once travel is allowed, no need for that plane ticket for now. All you have to do is to travel to the Korean temple in Cavite as a start for the day. The place is about an easy two-hour drive from Metro Manila. Located in Pooc II in Silang, Cavite, it can easily be found via Google maps or Waze. Read on as we suggest places and activities for a day of Korean escapade.

A quiet time at the temple

When you get to the temple, parking is available on the right before you enter the gates. Please bear in mind that the temple is sacred and not a tourist destination. It is best to approach the guard and ask politely for permission to enter the grounds and take pictures.

Take your shoes off when you enter the temple and observe silence. Depending on the day and availability, you should also be able to borrow Korean garb to complete the look for a photo opportunity.

This temple is also known as the Manila Buddhist Meditation Center and is mentioned to be the first Korean temple founded in the Philippines. People come here for a retreat and to meditate, or to just escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
