Blooming History: Cherry Blossoms at Daereungwon Tomb Complex

#koreatrip#gyeongju Our visit to Daereungwon Tomb Complex during cherry blossom season was like stepping into a dream. The ancient burial mounds, already majestic with their gentle curves and historical significance, were surrounded by delicate pink cherry blossoms in full bloom. The contrast between the soft petals and the lush green grass of the tombs created a breathtakingly serene atmosphere. As we walked along the paths lined with blooming trees, petals gently drifted in the breeze, adding a magical touch to the experience. This harmonious blend of history and nature during the cherry blossom season made our visit unforgettable.

If you are planning a trip to Gyeongju in spring, stop by Heungmuro Cherry Blossom road for the gorgeous views and photo spots before walking to Daereungwon Tomb Complex! Come during the festival weekend and there will be stalls selling food and other items. The cherry trees have been planted along the entire stretch of road so when they are in full bloom, it is truly a sight to behold. To get to Heungmuro Cherry Blossom road, set your Naver Maps destination to Heungmuro Cherry Blossom road and search for the best route. Since the buses in Gyeongju are infrequent and schedules can change without notice, it is best to decide on your route when you are there. Due to the long waiting times for buses, do consider taking a taxi if you are unable to wait. Also note that taxi surcharges have been introduced for certain routes in Gyeongju (e.g. Bomun Tourist Complex to Gyeongju Station). #cherryblossom2024
