South Korea Day 7 (photos) Trip to Gyeongju National Park

Posted by admin On July - 30 - 2009

Today we headed to Gyeongju, Gyeongiu is a major tourist destination for South Koreans as well as foreign visitors. It boasts the 1000 years of Shilla heritage with vast number of ancient ruins and archaeological sites found throughout the city.

We seen many of the Silla sites located in Gyeongju National Park such as the Royal Tomb Complex, the Cheomseongdae observatory, the Anapji royal pond garden, and the Gyerim forest. We also went to the Gyeongju National Museum which hosts many important artifacts and national treasures that have been excavated from sites within the city and surrounding areas.

The Lotus flowers were also blooming so we got to see them, definitely a beautiful unique flower.

    Oh yeah, but they actually weren’t hot at all. We did have some spicy food but the peppers don’t pack much punch.
