Looking out over the entire straight road - Unification Hall

#Gyeongju #Gyeongju Unification Hall Few people come here for sightseeing, including me! After being driven there by a local friend, It turns out that there is such a place with historical significance in the suburbs. I was deeply moved. King Munmu inherited the achievements of his father, King Taizong Wulie, destroyed Goguryeo, prevented the invasion of Tang, and achieved the unification of the Three Kingdoms. The king said: When I die, I will be cremated and buried in the East China Sea. Then it will become the guardian dragon of the East Sea and protect Silla. According to the king's will, it will be cremated in Buddhist style and its remains will be enshrined there. Daewang Rock is a rock formation about 20 meters long located 200 meters from the sea! Currently, you can see the introduction in the museum in Gyeongju (the last picture) I have always wanted to go to that beach and see it with my own eyes. I am truly in awe of this great king! So loving to his people.

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
