On the first day, as soon as I arrived at Gyeongju Station, the first place I headed to was Daereungwon. 🌳 This place, where huge tombs are lined up, is a place where you can feel the thousand-year history of Silla. It was especially interesting to see the inside of Cheonmachong and experience what the tomb of the king of Silla looked like. The cherry blossoms scattered along the path along the tomb made it even more charming. 🌸
After leaving Daereungwon, I headed to Cheomseongdae right next to it. ⛅ I was amazed by the fact that it was the oldest astronomical observatory in Korea. After walking around the flower fields and wide fields around Cheomseongdae for a while, I felt healed in the quiet atmosphere. 📷
I had a quick lunch near Kyochon Village and moved to Hwangryongwon in the afternoon. 🏯 It is a relatively recently restored temple building, but its scale and grandeur were really impressive. It is also a great place to take pictures thanks to its spacious garden and elegant architecture. It was quiet and not crowded, so my mind was at peace. 🙏
In the evening, I unpacked at a traditional hanok guesthouse in Gyeongju and finished off with a night walk. The night view of Cheomseongdae and Daereungwon had a different atmosphere than during the day. 🌙✨
On the second day, I woke up early and stopped by Kyochon Hanok Village and Woljeonggyo. 🏘️ As you walk down the quiet alleys, there are many traditional tea houses and workshops, so it was fun to look around. I enjoyed a cup of traditional tea and took a leisurely walk. 🍵
Finally, I visited Bomun Complex again and took a leisurely walk with rapeseed and cherry blossoms in the background, and bought some souvenirs. 💛🌼
Gyeongju is more than just a tourist destination; it is a city where you can feel the peace of time flowing slowly. I highly recommend it because you can fully experience history and nature in just 1 night and 2 days! 😊📍💖#Gyeongju
