Overview
Take a trip to Gyeongju on your South Korea Vacation
On Korean vacations, you will want to vist Gyeongju which was the capital city of the ancient kingdom of Silla (57 BC – 935 AD), which ruled about two-thirds of the Korean Peninsula between the 7th and 9th centuries.
Located 370 km (230 miles) southeast of Seoul in the Gyeongsang Province, Gyeongju is a coastal city with numerous low mountains surrounding the area, while the Sea of Japan lies to its east.
Often referred to as ‘the museum without walls’, Gyeongju features many historic treasures and archaeological sites from the Silla period, including various temples, tombs, shrines, palaces, gardens, and castles., all to be enjoyed on South Korean vacations
United with the nearby rural Gyeongju County in 1995, Gyeongju is now an urban and rural complex and is connected with nationwide rail and highway networks. Featuring a large manufacturing sector, thanks to nearby industrial cities, Gyeongju is slowly developing into a modern metropolis to be experienced on Korean tours.
However, Gyeongju will still be best known for its tourism, offering visitors a true taste of ancient Korean heritage.
