It was a perfect place to go after sunset. Wolji Pond is an artificial pond that was constructed by King Munmu in 674 CE. It is very impressive how it was created and still well-maintained! Donggung Palace was around since the Silla Kingdom. Obviously this is a reconstruction but it resembles the original building. It was also fascinating to learn about the artifacts that were discovered there, such as pottery, jewelry, building tiles, waterways, and Buddha images.
Qingzhou, 80 kilometers north of Busan, is the former capital of the Xinluo Dynasty, which enjoyed a thousand years of national prosperity. After 20 centuries of wind and frost baptism, the ancient graves are lonely, deserted hills are lonely, it is difficult to restore the prosperity of the past. Fortunately, the common people who love their native land have been repaired and protected over the years so that the broken well and ruins can be restored to the beautiful scenery of a beautiful day. At last, the Jincheng relics such as Zhanxing Platform, Duck Yanchi and Dalingyuan have ranked among the world heritage sites and become a famous tourist attraction, attracting tourists from all over the world to visit and hang on.

This structure is Korean observatory in era. when you like to know about Korean history, You should visit at here. There is various attraction near by the cheomseongdae.
I am an international student in Gyeongju, South Korea. I have been studying there for 6 years. I often come to Zhanxingtai with my friends for a walk. There are persimmon trees here in autumn and winter. Recently, the sunset was particularly beautiful. You can still collect stamps here. You can collect stamps at 16 historical sites in Gyeongju. As a stamp collector, I love it. Friends, come to Gyeongju and meet us by chance~~

A must-visit place in Gyeongju, no tickets are required. Maybe it was during an event? It is a Buddhist holy place that has been tempered by history. It is located on the mountain. It should be a temple that serves the royal family and dignitaries. The ancient buildings are distinctive. But the overall scale is not large.
With the surrounding portrayals of gods, Bodhisattvas and disciples, all realistically and delicately sculpted in high and low relief, it is considered a masterpiece of Buddhist art in the Far East.

Buy the ticket from trip.com, it is cheaper than buying on-site or even from their official website! Gyeongju World is actually pretty well known among enthusiasts for their many thrill rides. We had a really good time. Expect to spend a day here.
Chuseok holiday. I rode the Dragon Can during the open run. It was incredibly crowded. I bought tickets on-site. Surprisingly, I found the on-site ticket to be the cheapest. Costco Hyundai Cards don't offer discounts. I returned to Gyeongju World after last year. I'm so happy that they've added new attractions. Gyeongju World is the best amusement park in Korea right now.

A must-see place in Gyeongju, worth a visit. Two hours is enough for tourists. The content is good, the history of Silla and Gyeongju are condensed here. The surrounding landscape design is also good. The cafe can overlook the Woljeong Bridge.
Today, I took a bus from Singyeongju Station to the Gyeongju Museum and went to the museum.
When you get off the bus, you have to walk for about 3 to 5 minutes.
After walking for a while, you will come across an entrance. The admission fee is free.
When you enter the museum, you can see various eras.
