A Hidden Gem in Gyeongju? The Rising Millennium Forest Garden

Introducing the Millennium Forest Garden, a brand-new attraction in Gyeongju that opened in 2023. When I visited, the city center was scorching hot with temperatures exceeding 36°C, making it unbearable to explore outdoor tourist spots. However, the Millennium Forest Garden offered plenty of shade, making it a tolerable escape from the heat. If you're planning a summer trip to Gyeongju, you can't just stay indoors despite the heat, right? This place is highly recommended!

The garden is still relatively undiscovered, so it’s easy to take beautiful photos with natural backdrops. While it’s not a lavender field, the purple flower beds make for fantastic photo spots. There’s even a diagonal pathway inside designed for convenient photography. You’ll find plenty of great spots for capturing memorable shots as you explore the garden. 😆

💡Tips:
- To get to the Millennium Forest Garden from Hwangridan-gil, you can take a bus, but taxis are also affordable, costing around 5,000 to 8,000 KRW, so I recommend this option.
- Within 500 meters of the garden, there’s a spacious hanok-style café called Bros Coffee. After strolling through the forest, you can relax at the café and then take a taxi back for a perfect day out!
