  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Busan will host the “Gaeulen Jeollo Festa” at Hongbeop Temple from October 30 to 31, blending temple food, concerts, and meditation in a two-day festival. The event aims to transform the temple from a sightseeing destination into a space where visitors can enjoy local cuisine, performances, and meditation. Shuttle buses will connect the event to Nopo Station on Busan Subway Line 1, starting at 2 p.m. The city notes that Buddhist temples have become popular tourism attractions as global interest in Korean culture grows, and the festival aligns with the trend of wellness travel, as young Koreans increasingly embrace Buddhist-themed merchandise and practices.",
