NEED TO FIX TEMPLATE VARS FOR MAP EMBED AS STANDARD MARKDOWN.

Hyonmi and her friends took the subway for an hour, then walked for another 30 minutes to get to the entry to the path leading up the mountain to the Water Bell Temple.  The hike up the mountain was another 45 minutes.  They really wanted that cup of tea!

>       水- 수 /Su  / Water
>       鐘- 종 /Jong/ Bell
>       寺- 사 /Sa  / Temple

The place is worth it.  The links below tell you more about this lovely place.  

__Key point: Try the tea.__

[This gentleman wrote a blog post with lots of photographs](http://www.rjkoehler.com/travelog/2011/12/a-cup-of-tea-at-yangsu-ri/).  Read his post to learn about this place.  He says it much better than we could!

[And here is a nice entry about the place too.](http://thesoulofseoul.tumblr.com/post/25996670131/sujongsa-temple-on-ungil-mountain)
