We had lunch near the outside of the temple. It wasn't that great, but Mr.Lee from the MOE explained to us after that it is a traditional meal for the temples in this area to eat. It was almost entirely vegetables.

Songgwang-Sa Temple
After the green tea fields, we went to Songgwang-Sa temple, which is next to Mt. Jogye in Jellanam-Do. The temple dates back to the end of the Shilla dynasty and has been spotlighted as the center of Korean Buddhism. It was incredibly beautiful, and much larger than I would have guessed. They offer a temple stay experience that I would like to do sometime next fall. Here are some pictures from around the temple:
