Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond
Though made anew, it is a nice and quite picturesque place, especially at night.
Hwangridan-gil
Just a few years ago, Hwangnam-dong began to come alive — as it grew popular among young people, cozy cafés, boutiques, bookstores, and souvenir shops began to appear. This is how Hwangridan-gil was born — a street that today feels inseparable from Gyeongju itself.
In the evening, it’s especially magical: from a rooftop café, you can watch the sunset over a sea of traditional Korean hanok rooftops. Narrow alleyways, the warm glow of shop windows, and the absence of high-rises create an atmosphere of charm and nostalgia.
Hwangridan-gil is located next to the ancient Daereungwon tombs and is protected as part of Korea’s cultural heritage.
Cheomseongdae Ancient Observatory
Cheomseongdae is one of the oldest observatories in the world (7th century). The tower of the observatory is full of symbolism: the total number of hewn stones from which it is built; the number of rows of these stones before and above the small window, the shape of the stones... Reasonable Silakians paid attention to everything.
Cheomseongdae was built under the reigning Queen Seondok - one of three in the history of Silla. The queen ended up in a drama that, of course, was filmed in Gyeongju.
