Gyeongju Trip

Trip Details

We'll start our day trip to Gyeongju, setting off from the central meeting point of your choice in Busan. After about an hour and a half of traveling along the Korean peninsula, we'll visit Bulguska Temple, one of the oldest in all of Asia and one of the most visited due to its historical significance.

We'll explore the narrow streets and paths around the village, enjoying its residents' nature, ancient architecture, and traditional customs. Later, we'll make a stop along the route so you can have some free time to sample South Korea's delicious cuisine.

Afterward, we'll explore the Daereungwon tomb complex, which houses 23 royal tombs belonging to the Silla dynasty. Nearby we'll check out the popular street of Hwangnidan-gil, a perfect place to appreciate the modern face of Gyeongju.

We end our trip by making a brief 20-minute stop at the Wolji pond, also known as Anapji. This artificial lake is full of colorful fish and is located next to Palacio Donggung, on tranquil grounds that encourage meditation and reflection.

Then, we'll also swing by the Woljeonggyo Bridge, a marvel of ancient engineering with its sturdy stone arches. This historic bridge spans the Woljeongcheon Stream and has been a crucial part of Gyeongju's transportation network for ages. Can't wait to explore it

Once we have finished our guided tour of Gyeongju, we'll return to Busan after a 12-hour adventure.
