Gyeongju Fall Hot Spot!!! Cheomseongdae filled with autumn flowers🩵.
Gyeongju is always beautiful in the fall!!
Especially with a variety of flowers in full bloom!! At Cheomseongdae,
there are really beautiful flowers gathered together😃
You can see various types of autumn flowers including
pink muhly, asters, and pampas grass!
In fact, just visiting Cheomseongdae in Gyeongju
allows you to enjoy all the autumn flowers🌺 Personally, I find pink muhly
really beautiful, but there are also a lot of people😭

Gyeongju Pink Mully, where the news of enlightenment is heard around the Chuseok holiday. It's one of the famous pink muhly spots in Korea. The Cheomseongdae Pink Mulley colony is a good place for a day trip to Gyeongju to see autumn flowers along with the Cheomseongdae Wild Flower Complex. I think there are a lot of people who are curious about the time of enlightenment. As of September 27th, it seems to have bloomed more than 50% so that it may be faster than expected. It looks like more than 70 percent. Even if you travel to Gyeongju in a nearby area or by train, it's worth going out on a day trip in Korea. I think it would be okay to go see pink mully for about a day because the Chuseok holiday is long.

Gyeongju - Golden City
#traveldiaries
Gyeongju, known as the Golden City, is an ancient capital of Korea. You can feel a rich historical atmosphere when traveling here, as many of Gyeongju's famous destinations are renowned for their deep connection to Korea's imperial past and Buddhism. Some of the most famous sites include the Daereungwon Ancient Tombs, Cheomseongdae Observatory, and Bulguksa Temple. The recommended seasons to visit are spring and fall, when you can enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom or the beauty of the golden autumn leaves.

If you're looking for a photo spot in Gyeongju with many charming cafes, Omamushi Main Branch is the place to go.
Omamushi Main Branch is a cafe where you can comfortably spend time alone. The quiet and cozy atmosphere makes it a great environment for reading or working. I ordered hot chocolate along with the cafe's recommended desserts, pistachio macarons and vanilla cream pie. The hot chocolate was rich and smooth, and the pistachio macarons had a delightful nutty and sweet flavor. The vanilla cream pie was satisfying with its soft cream and crispy tart. It seems like the perfect place to enjoy some leisurely time alone. I plan to visit again to spend some more solo time.

The OLDEST Observatory in the East 🇰🇷
Cheomseongdae is the oldest astronomical observatory in the East. It was built to tell the time and season.
Cheomseongdae is very beautiful during the day, but it really must be seen at night! The structure is illuminated at night and looks even more special!
