Gyeongju-si

The thousand-year Silla capital, where Bulguksa, Seokguram and Daereungwon form a "museum without walls."

Gyeongju is in the southeast of North Gyeongsang Province and was the capital of the Silla Kingdom for nearly a thousand years, with historic sites packed closely together. Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto are World Heritage Sites, and the Gyeongju Historic Areas include Daereungwon, Cheomseongdae, Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, and Wolseong, with Wolji especially enchanting under the lights at night. Yangdong Village is a well-preserved traditional village, the Bomun Lake resort area has hotels and cycling paths, and on the east coast there is the Tomb of King Munmu. Spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage are the most beautiful times. Take the KTX to Singyeongju Station (Gyeongju Station), or a bus of about one hour from Busan or Daegu.
