What you can expect

Through this tour, you will visit 7 most popular sites of Gyeongju. Gyeongju, located in the far southeastern corner of North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, is a coastal city full of historical, cultural heritage all over the city which makes this whole city, “The Roofless Museum”.

With this tour, you will explore the historical aspects of Gyeongju, as well as its fun, cultural sides in just one day. Picking up all the participants at three meeting points in Busan in the morning, we will head to Ulsan Daewangam Suspension Bridge. Enjoy thrilling on the bridge surrounded by rocks and sea.

And continue exploring the historical sides of Gyeongju by visiting Bulguksa, a Buddhist temple on Tohamsan, which has 6 National Treasures, including the Dabotap and Seokgatap stone pagodas. (Dabotap, AKA '다보탑' is also on 10 Korean Won coin.)

After that, it is time to stress the cultural sides of Gyeongju more by visiting Hwangnidan-gil & Daereungwon. Hwangnidan-gil is one of the most significant tourist attractions in Gyeongju. It is a pedestrian-only street, full of trendy shops and restaurants. Especially the “10 won bread”, AKA '십원빵', is a can't-miss snack if you are at Hwangnidan-gil.

Right next to Hwangnidan-gil, is Daereungwon, a complex of Silla-era tumuli, and there are 23 tombs of kings, queens, and nobles from the Silla period. The sturdy construction of the tumuli made it hard for plunderers to access. As a result, many of their relics are well-preserved to this day. And a number of relics have been designated as National Treasures.

Our “last but not least” destinations are Cheomseongdae & Gyochon Traditional Village & Woljeonggyo. After visiting Cheomseongdae, the oldest astronomical observatory in Asia, moving our way to Gyochon Traditional Village, a traditional Korean village, full of old Hanok Houses from the Joseon Dynasty(조선시대), especially that of Gyeongju Choi clan, a wealthy, aristocratic family known as “the Rich Choi Family”, who, over twelve generations(as in about 400 years) were the richest landowners in this region. Aside from that, the traditional Korean Rice Wine, “Gyeongju Gyo-dong Beopju” is brewed & sold in this very village.

Woljeonggyo, adjacent to Gyochon Traditional Village, is a bridge that was built during the Unified Silla period (AD 676-935), but it got burnt down during Joseon Dynasty, and rebuilt in 2018, becoming the largest wooden bridge in Korea. It is a great place to feel serenity, take photos.

By returning back to Haeundae Station, Seomyeon Station in Busan, this majestic journey comes to an end. But the unforgettable memories of this tour will be timeless.

Don't miss the opportunities, and get on board!
