Enjoy the ancient city! Gyeongju: The oldest astronomical observatory in the East [Cheomseongdae] Day and Night

Gyeongju was the capital of Silla for 1000 years. Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site As it is called a roofless museum You can see ancient tombs all over the city. The oldest astronomical observatory in the East, Cheomseongdae, National Treasure No. 31, is said to have been built during the reign of Queen Seondeok. It is 9.17m tall. It is open at night, so I went to see the light-up. The day I went was the night of the full moon. In the days before electricity, it must have been very bright on a full moon night like this one. The vast grounds There are few places in the shade during the hot season, so be sure to take measures against the heat when you go out. ▪️Cheomseongdae and Daereungwon 🚃Taxi or bus from Shingyeongju Station 🚌From Gyeongju Intercity Terminal, take the city bus or walk There are many rental bicycles #Gyeongju #GyeongjuTrip

Good places to visit near Busan! Seoul and Busan getting bored? 🤔 Busan is 1️⃣ hour away to explore a niche city with a different atmosphere! 😍 There are usually 2 ways to get to Gyeongju: Take KTX🚅 from Busan Station to Shin Gyeongju Station or take the bus🚌 from Laobu Station to Gyeongju city Because my hotel is closer to Busan Station so I chose KTX but note that Shin Gyeongju Station is a distance from the city😳 need to take a bus or taxi out of the city Most of the attractions in Gyeongju are in the same area so a super convenient walk can already reach many attractions🚶🏻♀️ Highly recommend Royal Group Road Coffee Shop! ☕️ We chose Shimizudo 청수당 very good atmosphere very suitable for photography However, because it is Saturday so need to wait for a while to have a seat they only accept 3 groups of waiting so really depends on luck 😗 (cake is very attractive super large 2 people may not eat all so did not order 😭 Restaurants I tried 2: onmokdang 온목당 Beef bone soup rice / knife noodles 🍜 The amount of meat is quite a lot 🤩 Want to eat a clean meal is good 💪🏻 향화정 Tohwajeong: A super satisfying meal Recommended seafood onion cake🦐However it is a little expensive Attractions Half Moon City Chicken Forest Zhanxingtai Teaching Village Dalingyuan are in the same area 👍🏻 East Palace Moon Pool will have to walk a distance Actually, Gyeongju is not too excellent for attractions but Gyeongju is a slow-paced place and definitely a good place for a leisure walk (however don't come in the summer like my land Gyeongju is hotter than Busan😭 #KoreaTravel #KoreaGood Places #KoreaNear Country Tour #Gyeongju #GyeongjuTravel #Monuments #Cafe #RoyalDunRoad
