#Travel Guide
A recommended 1-day emotional travel course for Gyeongju, the capital of a thousand years 💫
Cheomseongdae → Woljeonggyo → Gyori Gimbap → Donggung and Wolji
📍 Travel destination: Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do
📅 Recommended itinerary: Day trip or 1 night 2 days
🌕 Cheomseongdae – The tranquility that holds a thousand years of time
Cheomseongdae, the oldest astronomical observatory in Korea.
Cheomseongdae, standing tall in the middle of a green field, is like a symbol of Gyeongju.
If you visit early in the morning, there are fewer tourists, so you can take leisurely emotional photos.
✔️ Photo tip: Take a picture at sunrise or low sunlight with your back to Cheomseongdae for a great shot!
✔️ Nearby attractions: Daereungwon and Hwangridan-gil are within a 10-minute walk
🌉 Woljeonggyo – Traditional beauty that is more beautiful at night
Woljeonggyo, where the architectural beauty of the Silla Dynasty lives and breathes. After the sun sets, the lights come on, and the scenery reflected on the bridge and the water looks like a painting.
It's great during the day, but you should definitely go at night.
✔️ Admission: Free
✔️ Lighting time: After sunset, from about 18:30
🍙 Gyori Gimbap - A line of gimbap that you can only taste in Gyeongju
Gyori Gimbap, a famous gimbap restaurant near Gyeongju Kyochon Village.
The gimbap with plenty of rich egg custard is unique and addictive.
The line can be long during lunch time, so I recommend going in the morning or afternoon.
✔️ Price: Approximately 4,000~5,000 won
✔️ Take-out available (Enjoy a picnic at nearby Cheomseongdae or Donggung and Wolji)
🏯 Donggung and Wolji - The king of enchanting night views
Donggung and Wolji are the perfect places to end your night in Gyeongju.
The lights of the palace reflected in the pond create a dreamy atmosphere. The best night view spot in Gyeongju where you can't stop your camera shutter.
✔️ Operating hours: 09:00 ~ 22:00 (Last admission 21:30)
✔️ Admission: Adults 3,000 won
✨ Summary of recommended courses

📌 Travel tips
It's also good to rent a bike and tour Cheomseongdae, Woljeonggyo, Donggung, and Wolji all at once.
It's a great travel destination for walking in the spring and fall because the weather is nice.
