Bomun Lake Resort
보문호·보문관광단지
A man-made lake resort on Gyeongju's eastern outskirts. Its roughly 8 km cherry blossom path around the lake is one of Korea's most famous cherry blossom roads, and hotels and amusement parks are concentrated here.
Bomun Lake is an artificial lake developed in the 1970s. The surrounding Bomun Tourist Complex is home to resort hotels such as the Hilton and Commodore, as well as Gyeongju World, Gyeongju Tower, and a golf course. Along the roughly 8 km walking and cycling trail around the lake, cherry trees bloom. The cherry blossom season, from late March to early April, is when Gyeongju is at its liveliest. Visitors can ride swan boats. The 'Bomun Pavilion' pond and its cherry blossom reflections are a classic photo subject. In the evening, the lake is lit up, and a seasonal water-and-music fountain show is performed. Free admission. Getting there: take bus 10, 18, 100, or 150 from the city center, about 20 minutes. Bicycles can be rented to ride around the lake.
