A Fairy Tale Scene of Spring: Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

Walking through Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond feels like stepping into a garden where a prince and princess from an old tale once resided. Especially in spring, the petals floating on the pond and the ripples created by the breeze are so romantic that you can't help but pause to take it all in. Although it's a historical site, the scenery feels like a playground for children and a peaceful retreat for adults. The elegant pavilions, preserving the dignity of an ancient garden, serve as perfect backdrops for family photos, turning them into cherished memories. The beauty of the palace under the sunlight captures the warmth of spring in your heart. If you're looking for a moment of relaxation and inspiration amidst a busy life, this place comes highly recommended. Visiting with children will make the day even more unforgettable. 📍 Address: 26-1, Inwang-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

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
