The Korea Tourism Organization has launched a vegan K-Box campaign to showcase the diversity of cuisine on offer and inspire future travel to Korea.
A highlight of the campaign is Korean temple food, which originated over 1,600 years ago and is based on the Buddhist principles of zero waste and sustainability as well as being entirely vegan.
The mountains of Korea, where temples are traditionally built, provide fresh ingredients which are crafted into nutritious dishes packed with flavour.
The best place to try vegan Korean food is at one of the many temples which open their doors to visitors for templestay experiences, usually a one- or two-night stay including meals, meditation and craft workshops.
Travellers can also experience temple food and culture at various restaurants in Seoul, including the Balwoo Gongyang.
