Journey Through Ancient Korea in Gyeongju
If you often visit Seoul or Busan, you might want to explore different places in Korea, such as Gyeongju.
In fact, it's very convenient to travel from Seoul or Busan to Gyeongju. You can take the Korail train and reach Gyeongju in just two hours. It's even closer from Busan, taking only half an hour to reach Singyeongju Station. However, since I don't know how to drive, I had to take a taxi to the city center. Make sure to have a phone with translation functions because most taxi drivers don't understand English.
Visiting Gyeongju feels like traveling back in time to ancient Korea. You can stroll and take photos in the old streets of the city, which are very beautiful. Many shops in traditional Korean houses retain their architectural features, and you can spend half a day exploring them. Additionally, they offer traditional and creative Korean cuisine and souvenirs.
Moreover, you can visit unique ancient buildings from the Silla Kingdom, including Daereungwon Tomb Complex, the thousand-year-old Cheomseongdae Observatory, Anapji Pond, and Woljeonggyo Bridge. These sites are especially beautiful at night when illuminated, offering a completely different visual experience compared to daytime. During the day, you can explore history, while at night, you can appreciate the art and romantic atmosphere.
After visiting the palace buildings, I also toured Yangdong Village, which has a 500-year history. It's a place to experience the life of ancient commoners. People still live in Yangdong Village today, and from a distance, the hillside is filled with ancient houses, creating a dreamy feeling.
Another highlight of visiting Gyeongju is staying in a traditional Korean house, which is a unique experience.

Gyeongju World: A Must-Visit Date Spot in Gyeongju
Gyeongju World is one of the most fun amusement parks in Korea and remains a beloved destination! They plan to introduce two new attractions this year and next year, and one of them is almost complete! Plus, it features Draken, the scariest ride in Korea, making it a thrilling and fun outdoor date spot! With a variety of attractions, you won't get bored even if you spend the whole day there! If you love rides, I highly recommend Gyeongju World for an outdoor date😀😀
I also brought my film camera📷 to Gyeongju World, and it turned out to be a perfect place for capturing sentimental photos! Taking pictures with a film camera while waiting for rides made the waiting time feel much shorter. The vintage feel of film cameras is very trendy these days, and it matches perfectly with Gyeongju World. So, I recommend bringing a film camera to create sentimental memories, not just for the rides!

Gyeongju Amusement Park is Amazing!
I visited Gyeongju World during my trip to Gyeongju. The roller coasters, Viking rides, and vertical dive coasters were incredibly fun and thrilling, and I rode them multiple times. Since I went on a rainy day, there weren't many people waiting in line.
Even if you're scared of rides, you can still enjoy the scenery of Gyeongju, watch parades, and soak in the lively and fun atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting here, especially if you want to ride many attractions without long wait times, which is a big advantage compared to the metropolitan area.
