|South Korea|Gyeongju Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

Stepping into Gyeongju feels like opening a historical scroll, and one of the most stunning chapters is the former royal garden "Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond," also known as Anapji Pond. This was a place where the royal family of the Silla Dynasty enjoyed scenic views and leisure activities. Wolji Pond is an artificial lake symbolizing the ancient cosmological concept of a round heaven and square earth, reflecting the king's vision and aspirations. 🌅🌌 Photo Highlights: Daytime: Sunlight gently illuminates the traditional pavilions, with shimmering reflections on the lake surface. The tranquil and elegant atmosphere is perfect for a leisurely stroll and capturing architectural details. Nighttime (a must-see): At night, the buildings and pavilions around the lake are lit up, creating stunning reflections on the clear water. It feels like stepping into a dreamlike scene from a historical drama. 🎫 Admission requires a ticket. 📍 Address: 102 Wonhwa-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do
