Austrian student Mathias says he gained peace of mind at the temple, which has a view of the sunset over the vast South Sea. [Soundbite] Mathias Blochberger(Austrian Tourist) A French family of five on vacation came to experience temple life in Seoul. [Soundbite] Virginie(French Tourist) It's awkward for them to sit on the floor, yet they attempt to bow 108 times...and focus on silent meditation. Even the family's youngest, a 13-year-old boy who didn't want to come, came to see the appeal of a Buddhist temple. [Soundbite] Maximilian(French Tourist) In the last year alone, some 55,000 foreigners took part in temple stay programs, making them one of the most special tourism attractions for foreigner visitors.
