Seochulji Pond

Seochulji Pond seemed to be a hidden gem in Gyeongju, more frequented by locals than tourists. Although the pond is not large, it exudes a tranquil charm that calms the mind even with a brief visit. Especially during sunset, the scene of the golden waves shimmering on the pond as the sun sets is unforgettable. In that moment, I felt as if I had become a scholar from the Silla era, composing poetry while surrounded by nature. Sitting on a bench and gazing at the pond was a truly precious experience. This place, which combines historical significance with natural beauty, is one I would definitely recommend to foreign travelers. If you visit Gyeongju, you should explore not only the famous historical sites but also these smaller attractions to truly experience the charm of Korea.
