I visited the Gyeongju National Museum~ You can't miss the museum when you're in Gyeongju! There's no admission fee, so I went in without feeling rushed. ㅎㅎ I heard it was also on All-Sale News~ There was so much to see! I saw the smiling water drop! I saw the gold earrings worn by the Silla people! The most amazing thing was the Emile Bell~ I had to take a picture at the top after I got out! It was fine when I came, but it was a little difficult when I went back because there was no bus~ If you're going, check the bus schedule carefully! If you're in Gyeongju, you have to go to the Gyeongju National Museum! You have to see it~ #GyeongjuTravel #Couples #HotPlace #CityTravel #DateCourse #SummerCapture

As you walk around each exhibition hall and take your time appreciating the artifacts, you will naturally picture the flow of Korean history in your head. The path leading to the outdoors is also leisurely, so it is perfect for studying history while walking as if you were taking a walk. The cool indoor and shaded outdoor spaces are in harmony, so you don't have to worry even in the summer. This is a course I would especially recommend to families. 📍 186 Iljeong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

One of the most popular exhibitions among children features the adorable and unique Silla clay figurines. Each figurine, whether it's a smiling person, a warrior on horseback, or a child fetching water, vividly captures the expressions of people from that era. These artifacts, resembling toys, appeal to children and spark their imagination. Questions like "What is this person doing?" become the starting point for engaging conversations. Alongside the explanations of the artifacts, children naturally learn about the lifestyle of Silla people. For family visitors, this exhibition offers both educational value and entertainment, making it a perfect spot. If you're looking for a history trip filled with laughter, this is the place to go. 📍186 Iljeong-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do

After exploring the indoor exhibition hall, taking a stroll through the outdoor garden offers a completely different charm. The areas adorned with stone Buddhas and lanterns are not only traces of history but also beautiful landscaping highlights. For children, it’s a rare opportunity to see actual artifacts up close, while for adults, it naturally evokes memories of the past. The harmony between nature and historical relics creates a unique and moving experience. It feels like another museum, rather than just an extension of the indoor exhibition. If you want to walk lightly and feel deeply, this trail is highly recommended. 📍186 Iljeong-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do

The outdoor garden of the Gyeongju National Museum is a perfect place to take a walk while admiring historical artifacts. Amidst the serene scenery, stone lanterns, pagodas, and Buddha statues from the Silla Dynasty are naturally placed, bringing a sense of tranquility with every step. Sitting quietly under the shade of a tree and gazing at the stone relics feels like embarking on a journey through time. Walking with children naturally leads to conversations about history, and there are plenty of picturesque spots for photos. Each artifact feels less like an outdoor exhibit and more like a part of the landscape. In spring and autumn, the historical resonance lingers with the breeze. This is a space where you can enjoy a stroll while learning about history, and I highly recommend it. 📍186 Iljeong-ro, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do

When you enter the Gyeongju National Museum, there is a map next to it. It is better to visit the museum with reference to the location. In addition, there are separate lockers at the entrance of the permanent exhibition hall, where you can store your belongings and visit the museum conveniently. The lockers are free to use. 3. Silla History Hall First of all, the tour route of the Silla History Hall is circular, centered on the central hall, and you can visit along the signs. The Silla History Hall consists of Room 1: The Founding and Growth of Silla, Room 2: The Golden Kingdom of Silla, and Room 3: The Prosperity of Silla and the Memorial Room of National Grace. In front of the exhibition hall, there is a brief description of Silla and a chronology of Silla.

I have nothing to do, so I'll share my trip to Gyeongju with you. Gyeongju was the royal capital of the ancient Korean dynasty Silla and has a history of nearly a thousand years. Silla was deeply influenced by Tang culture, so there are Buddhist temples all over the country. I call this place the Buddha's Land. I started from Seoul and took the KTX to Gyeongju High Speed ​​Rail Station. Gyeongju is now a small city with no subway, so all transportation depends on buses. Download Naver Maps in Korea, switch to Chinese or English, and search for buses. You can take the bus directly to Gyeongju Museum (P1). There is also the Silla Royal Tomb (P last) nearby. It may be because of the simplicity in ancient times that the Silla people built hills as tombs. There are many Buddha sculptures in the museum, which are worth seeing. There is also the Eastern Palace nearby, but I didn’t go to see it. After visiting the museum, take the bus to Bulguksa Temple (P4-P7). It was April and the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Bulguksa Temple should be one of the earliest ancient temples in South Korea, and its layout is similar to that of temples in China. It is worth a visit. After coming out, you can climb Tuhan Mountain from the mountain road next to it and go to Seokguram Grotto (P8). There is only one Buddha statue in the Grotto, and you are not allowed to take photos, but it is well preserved and the carving craftsmanship is excellent. It is a world cultural heritage. After visiting the Buddhist temple, we took the bus to Cheomseongdae. There is a cultural street nearby (P9-P12) with antique buildings. I don’t know what it is called, but I call it Silla Tangcheng. There are many Korean couples walking on the street, which is very pleasing to the eye. Under the sunset and haze, the Cultural Street has a unique charm. The prices in Gyeongju are lower. I had barbecue at a place called Baek Hundred Restaurant on this street (P2), which cost RMB 50 per portion. It was a big portion of pork, and I also had some vegetables as side dishes, which I don't see in other places in Korea. The 10-yuan cake (P down one), which is popular on some internet websites, is shaped like a Korean 10-yuan coin, with cheese filling and tastes like domestic egg waffles. However, the price was equivalent to RMB 15, and I initially thought it was RMB 10.

#IndoorDateCourse 🏠NationalGyeongjuMuseum ◽️ Gyeongbuk Gyeongju-si Iljeol-ro 186 National GyeongjuMuseum ◽️ Free Admission ◽️Weekdays 10:00-18:00 / Weekends 19:00 The interior of the museum is spacious and comfortable, so I felt comfortable the whole time I was there, and the tour route was well-organized, so I was able to look around efficiently! Also, the explanations for the exhibits were sufficient, so even people who don't know much about history could easily understand them! The exhibits here were well-preserved in detail, so it felt like I was seeing relics from the Silla period right before my eyes. The fact that it's free to enter is also a big plus, so you can visit without feeling burdened.
