Seokmo-do is an island south of North Korea (do means island). It’s located right off the coast of the port city Incheon. The plan was to go bike around this island for a whole day and get out of the city. It was an awesome daycation. I got some well needed fresh air, exercise, and I got to see a really cool Buddha statue. The temple was originally built in 635 A.D. and there is an inscription on the cliff face above the temple. I did not walk up and see it because it was way too cold.
The only damper on the trip was that my bike was a piece of shit. The gears had rusted over and got stuck, so I couldn’t switch out of the low gear setting and had to do a three hour bike ride in 32 degree (Fahrenheit that is) weather at a turtle’s pace.
Here are pictures:

The first thing you see after a very steep hike up.
This incredibly huge Buddha on it's side.
