Dongguk University has a history of over 100 years, and is one of the best universities that was founded on the Buddhist faith. The main campus is located in jung-gu Seoul, and directly connected with Namsan Mountain and Jangchungdan Park. So we can see much beautiful scenery surrounded by urban buildings and natural landscapes. Ahead of the Buddha's Birthday, lots of colorful Lotus lanterns were beautifully displayed all over the campus.

While sketching around charming campus,I was fascinated by the lively sceneries harmonized with natural park in the center of the metropolis.

도심과 남산공원을 이어주는 요지에 사찰분위기의 캠퍼스 주변은
유서 깊으면서도 ~~ 숨가쁘게 돌아가는 서울 도심의 오아시스같은 곳입니다.
특히 초파일 앞둔 연등행렬과 장충공원 주변의 신록은 오월을 더욱더 푸르게 합니다.
"안개낀 장충단..."을 회상하며 봄꽃이 만발한 숲길을 오르면 도시풍경이 일품입니다.
교통 편하고, 오르내리기 좋고, 생동감 넘치고, 소재가 가득한~~~ 좋은 스케치 장소입니다.
