[2025 Gyeongju Attraction] Travel Guide for Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village (Updated Jul)

A must-visit spot when traveling to Busan is the Gyeongju Choi Clan's old house, a well-preserved traditional Korean house. The Choi family was a prominent and wealthy family in Gyeongju, with a history spanning twelve generations. At its peak, the family owned an astonishing 1 million pyeong of land. The traditional Korean house architecture is quite rustic and charming. During its heyday, there were as many as 99 rooms, but now only 50 remain. Despite this, the place still exudes an antique charm. Visitors can wear hanbok and take photos here, and whether you're an influencer or not, once you put on the hanbok and walk around, you'll feel the atmosphere, making it a great place for photos.

#SoloTravel Gyeongju East 1779 Cafe's salt monaka ice cream is a dessert that offers a special experience. The crunchy texture of the monaka and the soft sweetness of the ice cream are exquisitely combined, and the salty taste of the salt further stimulates the appetite. The cafe is spacious and cozy, making it perfect for a long stay and enjoying leisure. In addition to desserts, there are various coffee menus and teas available, satisfying various tastes. This cafe, where the traditional feel of Gyeongju and modern sensibility are in harmony, is definitely worth a visit.

#SoloTravel I first tried salt monaka ice cream at Gyeongju East 1779 Cafe, and was surprised by the fresh flavor combination. The crunchy texture of the monaka and the soft ice cream blend well in my mouth, and the salt adds a little sweetness. This dessert was very impressive because it had a uniqueness that I couldn't find anywhere else. The interior of the cafe felt old-fashioned and modern at the same time, and it fully captured the historical charm of Gyeongju. It's the perfect place to spend some leisurely time.

#localescapes When visiting Gyeongju, I suggest taking a walk around Gyochon Village, especially at night. Within the village, you will see traditional architecture. It is a short walk from Cheomseongdae and the royal tombs. It also leads to the Woljeonggyo Bridge, which is also beautiful at night. In the village, there are experience centers, educational programs, and performances. The village is over 400 years old and has been in the Choi family for 12 generations. For locations is Namsan-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

#GyeongjuTravel 📍Yoseokgung1779 ▫️19-4 Kyochon An-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ▫️12:00-22:00 (Closed on Tuesdays) Breaktime 16:00-18:00) 🅿️Yoseokgung exclusive parking lot (Guide O) Catch Table/Naver/Phone reservations required!! Children under 12 years old are not allowed to accompany🙅🏻‍♀️ A proper Korean restaurant where you can taste the traditional flavors of Gyeongju's richest family! It's a place where you can enjoy it more privately because it's a reservation system, so it's a place where many people come for blind dates or family gatherings! It's a place where I felt happy throughout the meal because the taste of the food and the inner garden were both satisfying❤️ If you take a walk after eating at Woljeonggyo right in front, it's a perfect course😘

Hanbok snapshots taken on our first wedding anniversary🫶🏻 I brought you Hanbok snapshots belatedly for Chuseok:) It's already been a year... .🤭 We got married in our 20s, so we didn't have much money, but we decided to get married with our love and confidence in each other. So we reduced the wedding costs as much as possible and omitted many things that could be omitted, and one of them was getting Hanbok tailored. So, for our first wedding anniversary, we decided to wear hanbok and rented hanbok to take snapshots👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻 My husband and I think our natural expressions come out the most when we take pictures facing each other, so we have a lot of pictures of us facing each other😄 Let's continue to walk together and face each other for the rest of our lives, my partner @hoon_jn 😘 It's almost our second anniversary, what kind of concept should we take pictures with this year🤫 📍Gyeongju Kyochon Village & Woljeonggyo (2021.11) 📸 Photo by @nam.taehyeon_ 🎀 Hanbok rental @chaevidam #Couples#Date course#Life shot spot

#GyeongjuTravel #HotPlace #DomesticTravel Gyeongju Kyochon Hanok Village is a place where many old houses from the Joseon Dynasty, including Confucian schools, are preserved👍🏻 It is not that big or small, so it is good to take a light walk and look around~ It is a place with a unique, peaceful and quiet atmosphere in Gyeongju😌 There are cafes, souvenir shops, and hanbok rental shops inside the Hanok Village, and at certain times, there is a rice cake pounding event, so there are many things to see and enjoy~ And nearby is the famous Kyori Gimbap. It is one of the top three gimbap in the country, filled with egg kimchi. I tried it too, and I really understood why it is famous. The gimbap was delicious with just the kimchi🤤 I recommend it as a course to eat gimbap and take a walk! 📍Gyeongju Gochon Hanok Village | 71 Gyo-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Woljeonggyo Bridge and the richest house are all gathered in one place, so it is a famous place that I would recommend as the first Gyeongju travel course. If you rent a hanbok and go on a hanok tour, you will have a much more memorable trip♥️ There are also cafes and restaurants, so I recommend taking your time looking around Woljeonggyo Bridge and the richest house! - - 📍Kyochon Village 🧭39-2 Kyochon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do #Gyeongju Travel#Kyochon Village

He was so rich that he was a millionaire for 10 years, but he was widely known as a true rich man who practiced a life of generosity, as can be seen in the family motto, so that no one in the four directions would starve. The richest house in Gyeongju seems like a must-see course for any trip to Gyeongju. How about a trip to Gyeongju to feel the energy of wealth at the richest house, which has been designated as a national folk cultural asset that must be preserved?🖤 - - 📍The richest house in Gyeongju 🧭19-21 Kyochon-an-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do ⏰️9:30-17:00 (free admission) #GyeongjuTravel#The richest house#Kyochon Village

#You all know the sentiment that you can only feel in a #hanok, right?? ˙ᵕ˙ Sometimes I miss that tranquility So I brought photos of the #Gyeongju Choi Buja House that I visited last summer ᴗ̈ It was the place I liked the most among the hanoks I've ever seen! 📌 27-40 Kyochon-an-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do About 10 minutes on foot from Woljeonggyo? You can find it! It's an old house where the Choi Buja House used to live, and it was a place where you could feel the history of the old house, the lives that continued it, and even the beauty inside it. There was also a short exhibition space that conveyed the past appearances of the Choi Buja House helping people. It's also great to sit quietly on the floor and feel the cool breeze blowing in! #GyeongjuTravel #ChoiBujaHouse #Hanok #OldHouse #Gyeongju

There are many famous places in Gyeongju, but I don't think I've heard of 'Gyeongju Kyochon Hanok Village'! I also happened to find this place when I visited Woljeonggyo Bridge, and I'm going to introduce it to you because it was more satisfying than I thought.🌹 There are many restaurants and places to rest inside Kyochon Hanok Village!! Maybe that's why I saw many families coming.📸 There are quite a few large cafes and restaurants outside Kyochon Village, and Hwangridan-gil is not far away if you walk, so if you go to Gyeongju, visit this place too. ◡̈ 💛Gyeongju Kyochon Hanok Village -71 Gyodong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 💛It's very close to Woljeonggyo Bridge ◡̈ #Gyeongju travel #vacation travel #travel destination recommendation #outing #places to visit in Gyeongju #places to visit in Korea #Gyeongju tourist attraction #Gyeongju recommendation #Hanok #travel guidebook #best photo spots #with nature

If you walk towards #Gyeongju #Kyochon Village, you will come across #Woljeonggyo Bridge. It is not far from #Hwangridan-gil, so you can walk there~ It is fun to walk to the other side of Woljeonggyo Bridge and then walk back to Dol-dari Bridge. And the pictures come out well and the scenery is pretty even if you take a lot of pictures 💕 It is pretty at night, but I came during the day this time 😆 #If you come to Gyeongju, I recommend Woljeonggyo Bridge. Take a picture of your life~! #WhiteDay #SpringIsHere #WaitingRestaurant #DaehakroHotPlace #DayTrip #WeekendTrip

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Gyeongju Gyochon Village, located right next to the historical heritage area and the center of historical tourism in Gyeongju, is a place where traditional tiled roof houses are maintained, centered around Gyodong Beopju and Choi Family Old House, which are designated as cultural assets, and is attracting attention as Gyeongju's Hanok Village. Cafes and restaurants are also designed not to spoil the scenery. This is also where Korea's first national university, the National University of Korean Studies, was built in 682 (the second year of the Shilla Sinmun King's reign). The old house next to it is the Gyeongju Gyodong Choi Family Old House (Important Folk Cultural Property No. 27). It was built around 1700 and has been around for over 300 years. Compared to its reputation as the home of a wealthy Joseon dynasty king, the low main gate gives the impression of a simple family style. Following the family motto of "Let no one starve to death within 100 ri," they distributed 100 koku of rice to poor neighbors during famines and in years of famine, a Korean version of "noblesse oblige." The quaint stone-walled road was lined with lovely hanok houses, making it seem like a filming location for a Korean drama☆ Gyochon Village, Gyochon, Gyochon-gil, Gyo-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea #Trip to Gyeongju #Trip to Busan

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip This restaurant is located in Gyochon Village, Gyeongju. In Japanese, it means Gyochon 300 Years House. I was brought to this restaurant on a tour, and the atmosphere was great. The well-maintained outdoor garden was especially beautiful. It was also nice to be able to see the view from inside the restaurant. I ordered Yukhoe Bibimbap, which was just as delicious. There was also a wide selection of vegetarian dishes. 교촌삼백년집 A 300 YEARS RESTAURANT OF GYOCHON 39-19 Gyochon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea #GyeongjuTrip #BusanTrip

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip I participated in a tour of the main spots of Gyeongju on trip.com. It was a super long one-day trip that met at Busan Station at 10:20 in the morning and disbanded at Busan Station around 22:30 at night. The meeting and disbanding locations could be chosen from Busan Station, Seomyeon, and Haeundae. Changes could be communicated via LINE, so it was safe. The bus was a luxury bus with reclining seats and was extremely comfortable. The tour was in English and Chinese, but the explanations were clear and detailed. The restaurant where we had lunch was decided, so we could choose what we liked. (Actual cost) It was very easy to get to the destination just by riding. Visited: Bulguksa Temple, Gyochon Village (lunch here), Daereungwon, Hwangnidan-gil Hwangnidan-gil, Woljeonggyo Bridge, Anapji Pond, Woljeonggyo Bridge lit up at night It may be difficult to hear the history explained in English, but if you do your homework beforehand, you can enjoy it! Also, I double-checked the meeting time and place every time. The guide was really nice, so I was able to have a safe and enjoyable trip. If you don't mind English, please try it☆ #Gyeongju trip #Busan trip

📅 Travel Itinerary Day 1: Woljeonggyo Bridge, Kyochon Village Night View Day 2: Najeong Beach, Songdae-mal Lighthouse, Gyeongju Wind Power Plant Day 3: Kinock Hotel-Sniff, Hwangridan-gil, Gyori Gimbap 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation I traveled with a 26kg dog, so I stayed at Kinock Hotel. It is a hotel that allows dogs up to 45kg. They are very considerate of pets, and it was comfortable to stay as it is a pet hotel. 🍴 Restaurant Recommendation Since I was traveling with a large dog, I mostly ate takeout, and on the last day, I went to Sniff located in the hotel. The food was mainly Western and the taste was good! 📌 Useful Tips Songdae-mal Lighthouse is famous for snorkeling, but the path down to the famous spot is rough. I do not recommend it for infants or pets. Najeong Beach is not a sandy beach, and the slope is steep, so it seems a little dangerous to enjoy swimming. I strongly recommend bringing a life jacket or tube. It is recommended to visit Gyeongju Wind Power Plant about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour before sunset to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. It is especially hot in the summer, so I recommend early morning or sunset. The roads towards Gyeongju city are very winding, and the roads towards the beach are relatively straight, so please keep that in mind!

Take an intercity bus from Daegu Airport and arrive at Gyeongju Intercity Bus Terminal! Take a taxi to Gyeongju Expo in Gyeongju Bomun Complex for half a day It's much wider than I thought and there are many different types of experience centers and exhibition rooms Accommodation is Gyeongju Lahan Hotel, clean and bigger than I thought Second day, have lunch at the hotel and arrive at Gyeongju World I bought an afternoon ticket to Gyeongju World and came in, but it was more informative and fun than I thought If you enjoy scary attractions, I highly recommend the all-day ticket! Third day, check out leisurely and tour Hwangridan-gil, Cheomseongdae, Donggung and Wolji on foot and take an intercity bus to Daegu Airport! #Domestic travel #Gyeongju travel #Gyeongju Expo Park #Cheomseongdae #Donggung and Wolji #Gyeongju Bomun Complex #Gyeongju World
