By Train: This is probably the most convenient way to get here. The nearest train station is Gye-Ryong (on the Ho-Nam line), about 2 and half hours from Yongsan Station (subway/rail interchange no.135 on the dark blue no.1 line) Costs about 10,000 - 12,000 Won. The trains run every hour. Another alternatives is to take the KTX (Korean Train Express) leaving from Yongsan Station at 8:00 and arriving at Gyeryong Station at 09:16. And another at 09:10 and arriving at Gye-Ryong Station at 10:26. This hour long journey costs about 25,000 Won. By Car: From the Seoul-Busan Expressway No.1, take the Ho-nam Go Sok Doro (Ho-Nam Expressway No.251) towards Yuseong and Kwangju and exit at the Gye-Ryong interchange. Driving towards Gye-Ryong City past 8 traffic lights, you make a left-turn at the sixth traffic light. From there only drive straight through the City itself and continue until you pass a large school for middle-school students on the right. Soon after that there will be a sign above the new road indicating the way to Mu Sang Sa Temple on the right. After making a right turn, you go for about one kilometer until you pass the reservoir on your right. Just past the reservoir is a left turn into Mu Sang Sa Temple and you can easily park there too.
