Introduction to Gyeongju

A city filled with cultural relics, Gyeongju dates back to the 1st century BC in the province of Gyeongsangdo. Goguryeo(37 BC~ AD668)and Baekje's (18 BC ~ AD678) collapse gave rise to the first unified Korea under the reign of the Silla (57 B.C. ~A.D. 935) kings. The incredible 992 year history of the Unified Silla Kingdom makes today's Gyeongju a tourist'dream. This picturesque city allows tourists to step back in time, experience the beauty of the land and exquisite architecture,and view numerous relics from the Unified Silla Kingdom. This one of a kind historical treasure of a city attracts around 8~9 million tourists a year (both domestic and foreign). Some of the most famous sites here include: Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, The National Gyeongju Museum, Daereungwon Royal Burial Grounds, Bunhwangsa Temple, Cheongseongdae Observatory, Hwangnyongsa Temple, Ahnapji Pond, Poseokjeong Watercourse, Namsan Mountain, and Bomun Lake Resort. At the 2002 World Heritage Committee gathering, Gyeongju's relics were recognized among the worlds most treasured (for the preservation of Gyeongju's relics, UNESCO has placed many relics on the international 'Cultural Treasure' list).
