Gangneung’s Gulsan Temple lantern/flagpole stone (당간지주) is a small, iconic remnant from Korea’s Buddhist past—perfect for quiet heritage photography. The tall, carved stone forms strong vertical lines against the coastal-tempered Gangneung light. Best photos come in clear weather with low sun or soft overcast for texture.
