Gyeongju: Korea's Timeless City of History and Culture

Gyeongju, often called "the museum without walls," is a city in South Korea that offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the ancient Silla Dynasty (57 BC–AD 935). As the capital of Silla for almost a thousand years, Gyeongju is filled with historical landmarks, temples, and artifacts that make it a must-visit destination for those interested in Korean culture and heritage.


Key Highlights of Gyeongju:

  1. UNESCO World Heritage Sites

    • Gyeongju is home to several UNESCO-designated sites, including Bulguksa Temple and the Seokguram Grotto, which showcase exquisite Buddhist architecture and craftsmanship from the 8th century.
    • The Yangdong Folk Village provides a look into traditional Korean lifestyles.




  2. Historical Tombs and Palaces

    • Daereungwon Tomb Complex features large grassy mounds that are ancient royal tombs, some of which can be entered, like the Cheonmachong Tomb showcasing treasures from the Silla period.
    • The Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (formerly Anapji Pond) offer a stunning nighttime view when the palace lights reflect on the serene water.



  3. Cheomseongdae Observatory

    • Built in the 7th century, this is the oldest existing astronomical observatory in Asia. It reflects the scientific advancements of the Silla Dynasty.

  4. Natural Beauty
