Sansa are Buddhist Mountain Monasteries, UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in various spots around South Korea. Set in beautiful and isolated locations, the Sansa have existed in Korea for hundreds and hundreds of years. Although most of them have long disappeared, some are still in existence and still in use. Come along with us as we explore the Sansa of Bongjeongsa, near the city of Andong in South Korea.
