안적사 (AanJukSaa)

We walked from AanPyeong (안평역) Metro rail station to AnnJukSaa and to Osiria (오시리아) rail station. We didn't plan it this way, but we ended up hiking at least 10K today, stiff uphills and downhills included. 

A mommy duck with six ducklings in tow.

Public exercise equipments are everywhere. We use them often while hiking.

Boddhi tree (보리수) fruits are good. You don't find them often, especially on public land. So we helped ourselves.

This one looks like a pure-breed Jindo. I can tell it by the tail sticking straight up, the big head, and the short, stiff triangular ears. They are well known for their bravery and fiercely loyal to one owner. You, as an owner, must raise them from a very young age, before they are 3 months old, because that bond of loyalty forms early and permanently, and that bond can never be broken.

See the food for wild animals left by the temple on the rock. I remember the same food offering left by a temple, 남한산성 장경사 (Jaang Kyeong Saa), where we, my father and my mother visited in the early 1960s. On those days, I was told that food was for tigers. Today I heard what appeared to be a cat and birds fighting over food or territory.

Something about dogs on the temple grounds I have noticed that they all appeared quiet, gentle, and well-mannered. 

This temple is one of four temples built by WonHyo DaeSaa (원효대사). There are now two still standing; JaangAanSaa (장안사) is another one. This one, it says, was first built in 661.
