About Gyeongju
This open-air museum preserves the Silla Kingdom's 1000-year reign through ancient tombs, temples, and palaces scattered across a valley. Grassy mounds hide royal burial chambers while reconstructed kingdoms rise from excavations revealing sophisticated early Korean civilization. Walking Gyeongju traces intellectual and spiritual foundations of Korean culture.
