[2025 Gyeongju Attraction] Travel Guide for Cheomseongdae Observatory (Updated Feb)

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😭 📍Cheomseongdae Pink Muhly Inwang-dong, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk

瞻星台是目前亞洲最古老的觀象台 照片裡看起來很小 但實際上很大！ - 而且韓國的冬天真的好美 枯樹配上沒有雲的天空 好乾淨 有夠美！ - 旁邊還有大陵苑可以參觀 可惜我去的太晚 都關門了～ - 希望下次有機會可以再去！

#localescapes 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.

交通攻略－ KTX，公車 當地名勝－ 大陵苑、良洞村、雁鴨池等 酒店－ Rivertain Hotel Gyeongju 飲食及餐廳－ 淑英食堂 第一次到韓國 #一個人旅行 ，除咗首爾，都想睇一些特色景點，所以最後都選了慶州。 由首爾站坐2小時 K T X列車就抵達新慶站（#trip.com 訂車票平好多🙏🏻），再坐約30分鐘巴士就抵達舊慶州站，而主要景點都在附近，景點幾密集，唔使將行程浪費喺交通上。 抵達時已經係下午。見附近有好多單車出租店，所以就租單車遊城區。唔想騎單車？乘坐10號、11號公車都可；附近都好多電動滑板車，下次試吓租唔租到。🤩 大陵苑 是埋葬新羅王、妃子、貴族的墓園。喺公園裡有多個小山丘，同中國墓地設計有啲不同，共通點就係山明水秀。 瞻星台 好近大陵苑，騎單車5分鐘就到。瞻星台是古代天象台，用來觀察星象。沿途見到油菜花田，即刻衝入去影相打卡，超有感。🥰🥰 慶州校村 大約10分鐘單車🚴‍♀️ 車程，就到達慶州校村。校村包括古代貴族崔氏古宅和鄉校等，大多數古宅都改建成小食店及特色商店，遊客可以體驗製作年糕等活動。 月精橋 由校村行5 分鐘就到達月精橋，好有古代建築特色，環境好靚，好舒服，但好大風，要帶多件衫。 雁鴨池 又名「東宮和月池」，是皇太子、皇位繼承人居住的地方，月池晚上10鐘關門，晚上入院，感覺唔同。遊客多，原來大家都係「捕住」夜晚入院。👍🙌 以上景點部分需要入場費，大多約20港幣，好值得。 想醫肚，可以試吓大陵苑附近的「淑英食堂」，非常出名。屋仔細細分了幾間房，叫咗個套餐，係非常傳統嘅韓國菜式。大醬湯偏鹹，但好好味。價錢唔貴港幣$100有找。早到早享受。想掃街，可以行慶州中央市場，比起首爾的市場， 中央市場規模細好多。反而在大陵苑附近有條街有好多餐廳同文青小店，嗰邊搵嘢食好容易。👍 住宿： 舊慶州站附近好多酒店、餐廳。例如 Rivertain Hotel Gyeongju 酒店價錢亦唔貴，內部幾靚，性價比好高。 至於第二日行程，可以乘坐公車遊佛國寺、世界知名的良洞村等等，玩到一天，下次再報告。今次慶州旅行好開心，感覺去了輕井澤，因為景點好近，但各有特色，如果係櫻花或紅葉季節，更靚。❤️❤️ 起初以為慶州是冷門旅遊點，原來整個區域都已經列入「世界文化遺產」，好多外國人都鐘意來，可能係大家近年都睇得太多韓劇了。🤩🤩 第2天行程出咗喇 #2023探索慶州古文化2行程規劃第2天分享 有時間參考吓比個 like 👍 #慶州 #韓國 #一個人旅行 #慶州名勝 #尋找你的旅行背包

#koreatrip #gyeongju Our visit to Cheomseongdae in Gyeongju during a spring sunset was truly enchanting. As the golden hour bathed the ancient observatory in soft light, we admired the surrounding gardens, where tulips were beginning to bloom, adding vibrant colors to the serene landscape. Cheomseongdae, the oldest surviving astronomical observatory in East Asia, dates back to the 7th century during the Silla Dynasty. Its unique bottle-shaped structure, built with 362 granite stones to represent the days of the lunar year, reflects the advanced scientific knowledge of the time. Standing there, surrounded by nature's beauty and centuries of history, we felt transported to another era, marveling at the blend of natural and cultural splendor.

It was a trip to Gyeongju, Korea with friends. We started our journey at Bomun Lake, the heart of Gyeongju’s cherry blossom season 🌸 The entire area around the lake turns into a pink paradise during peak bloom. Walking along the lakeside, we were surrounded by delicate petals falling like snow, it was magical. We explored the bike trails for stunning panoramic views and even rented a paddleboat to capture reflections of cherry blossoms on the water. I would highly recommend visiting in the late afternoon when the golden hour lighting enhances the natural beauty. 📍 424 Bomun-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea We also visited the iconic Bulguksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The temple grounds are adorned with cherry blossoms 🌸 creating a beautiful contrast with the ancient architecture. As we wandered through the pathways, we couldn’t resist taking close-ups of the blossoms framing the temple’s intricate details. Early morning ⛅️ visits are best to avoid crowds and capture the serene atmosphere. Trust me, this is a must-visit spot for breathtaking photos and a deeper connection with Korea’s cultural heritage. 📍15-1 Jinhyeon-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea We also explored the historic Cheomseongdae Observatory, the oldest astronomical observatory in Asia. During cherry blossom 🌸 season the surrounding area transforms into a fairytale setting. A short walk took us to Gyerim Forest, where ancient trees 🌳 and pink blossoms create a magical ambiance perfect for photography 📸 Sunset was the ideal time for us to visit, as the blossoms glowed softly in the fading light. It’s a highly photogenic spot, and I’d recommend bringing a wide-angle lens to capture the full scene 🙌🙌🙌 📍839-1 Inwang-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea We also visited Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, one of the most stunning locations in Gyeongju. At night, the pond reflects the illuminated palace and cherry blossoms, creating a dreamlike scene. We spent hours here capturing the perfect shot of the blossoms glowing under the palace lights. This place is ideal for an evening visit. It’s an unforgettable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Gyeongju during cherry blossom 🌸 season 📍 102 Wonhwa-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea We visited in early April, which is the peak season for cherry blossoms in Gyeongju. The timing varies slightly each year, so I recommend checking local bloom forecasts to plan your trip. #koreatrip #Vacation #trip

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.

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.
