[Korea Travel] Gyeongju / The Oldest Astronomical Observatory in the East, Still the Same as It Was Back Then!

#Recommended places in Korea 2024 ⁡ 📍Cheomseongdae, Gyeongju, Korea ⁡ The oldest observatory in the East that has remained unchanged since about 1,400 years ago✨️ ⁡ I thought it would be more strictly managed, but ⁡ It's in the middle of the park and there's no admission fee, so you can go there casually. ⁡ It's also the mascot of Gyeongju, and the nearby general store sells cute goods, so it's a great souvenir😌 In front of Cheomseongdae, there was a dance performance in costume, and there were many families with children. ⁡ There is a bus from Shingyeongju Station, and it's about a 5-minute walk from the bus stop. There is no admission fee, so you can view it for free. ⁡ ⁡ 📍 Cheomseongdae Address: 839-1 Inwang-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ⁡ ⁡ =================== ⁡ Thank you for reading to the end🫶 ⁡ If you found this post helpful, I would be happy if you could leave a like or comment♡ ⁡ ⁡ #KoreaTrip#GyeongjuTrip#GyeongjuTourism

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

Cheomseongdae Observatory

Exploring Gyeongju, the ancient capital of Silla, takes you on a history-packed journey, from UNESCO temples to sunset-lit palace ponds! 🌇📜 Here’s a quick and culture-loaded 2-day itinerary to get the best sights and flavors. Day 1: Kick off your adventure at Bulguksa, a legendary Buddhist temple. Take bus #10 from Gyeongju Station for easy transit. Next up: hike or cab your way to Seokguram Grotto for epic mountain views and iconic Buddha statues (bring cash for the entrance fee!). After lunch, stroll through Daereungwon Tomb Complex—massive grassy mounds hiding ancient royals. From there, it’s a short walk to Cheomseongdae Observatory (839-1 Inwang-dong; open 09:00-22:00) — snap pics at the world’s oldest existing astronomical observatory, especially awesome at dusk! Wrap up your day with sunset at Donggung Palace & Wolji Pond, then stroll Hwangnidan-gil street for hip cafés and dinner joints (tip: try the fusion Korean pizza!). Day 2: Morning at the Gyeongju National Museum—free entry and mind-blowing Silla artifacts. Hop on a local bus or grab a taxi to Poseokjeong Pavilion, a tranquil, less-crowded archaeological gem. Midday, head over to Bomun Lake—perfect for a lakeside coffee and chill stroll. Don’t skip the famed Hwangnam bread from a local bakery! End with a relaxing session at a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna)—your secret weapon for beating travel fatigue. Getting Around: Buses cover all major sights, but taxis are affordable and save time, especially if you’re short on days. Destination Tips: Gyeongju can get crowded on weekends—go early and buy tickets onsite. Spring/fall offers the best weather. Most places take card, but smaller shops sometimes want cash. #GyeongjuTravel #SillaAdventure #FoodieFinds #KoreaTips
