A Piece of South Korea in Bulacan

My mom messaged me that they're going to visit and asked me if there's a park near our house. The nearest in our place is Ecopark but they've been there a couple of times and I think she wants a place she haven't been to yet. Then I remembered I saw on the internet this Korean Temple in Bocaue. It's actually an hour drive from our place but it's the nearest I can think of so I showed her the photos and she said she's good with that.

The following day, we left our house at almost 1PM. We arrived there at 2:10PM. We parked at The Parish of Sto. Cristo. It's still a 5-minute walk to the Shrine of St. Andrew Kim but there are trikes lined up at the parking area that could take you to the shrine if you don't want to walk 400 meters. They charge P10/head.

Going to the shrine itself was a challenge for me because of my knee surgery. I didn't expect that we have to take a trike then walk a narrow street just to get to it. But I think it's worth visiting this place once to relax, meditate, and have cool selfies. You'll indeed get a taste of Korea in this hidden part of Bocaue.

The Shrine is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10-12in the morning and 2-4 in the afternoon.
We were able to get to the place through Waze, but the route is easy if you're coming from Manila. You can just take McArthur Highway or NLEX Marilao Exit.
