  Kilsangsa Temple is a picturesque Buddhist temple in the leafy, posh neighborhood of Seongbuk-dong (this neighborhood above the Blue Palace is a favorite of diplomats and expats). It is frequented by devout Buddhists and the streets get jampacked with cars during festivals. Still, this makes for a nice side trip after visiting Gyeongbuk palace and/or Samcheong-dong area. The monks and volunteers are generally tolerant of visitors who poke their cameras inside the temple buildings (there are numerous prayer sessions and chanting during the day). Taxis know where there is but no public buses ply this road.
