DONGGUNG PALACE | A TIMELESS JEWEL OF GYEONGJU

#cherryblossom25 Donggung Palace and Napji Pond in Gyeongju is a breathtaking historical site that was once a royal retreat during the Silla Dynasty. It becomes especially enchanting during cherry blossom season (March–April) when the soft pink blooms frame the palace and reflect beautifully in the tranquil waters of the pond. As night falls, the illuminated palace structures create a mesmerizing golden glow, turning the site into a dreamlike landscape. The shimmering reflections of ancient pavilions, stone bridges, and cherry blossoms make it one of the most magical night views in Korea. Whether you visit during the day for the vibrant spring scenery or at night for a serene, glowing spectacle, Donggung Palace and Napji Pond offer a perfect blend of history, nature, and romance that should not be missed. 📍Address: Donggung Palace, Gyeongju, South Korea #familytravel #thingstodo #naturalwonders

Good places to visit near Busan! Seoul and Busan getting bored? 🤔 Busan is 1️⃣ hour away to explore a niche city with a different atmosphere! 😍 There are usually 2 ways to get to Gyeongju: Take KTX🚅 from Busan Station to Shin Gyeongju Station or take the bus🚌 from Laobu Station to Gyeongju city Because my hotel is closer to Busan Station so I chose KTX but note that Shin Gyeongju Station is a distance from the city😳 need to take a bus or taxi out of the city Most of the attractions in Gyeongju are in the same area so a super convenient walk can already reach many attractions🚶🏻♀️ Highly recommend Royal Group Road Coffee Shop! ☕️ We chose Shimizudo 청수당 very good atmosphere very suitable for photography However, because it is Saturday so need to wait for a while to have a seat they only accept 3 groups of waiting so really depends on luck 😗 (cake is very attractive super large 2 people may not eat all so did not order 😭 Restaurants I tried 2: onmokdang 온목당 Beef bone soup rice / knife noodles 🍜 The amount of meat is quite a lot 🤩 Want to eat a clean meal is good 💪🏻 향화정 Tohwajeong: A super satisfying meal Recommended seafood onion cake🦐However it is a little expensive Attractions Half Moon City Chicken Forest Zhanxingtai Teaching Village Dalingyuan are in the same area 👍🏻 East Palace Moon Pool will have to walk a distance Actually, Gyeongju is not too excellent for attractions but Gyeongju is a slow-paced place and definitely a good place for a leisure walk (however don't come in the summer like my land Gyeongju is hotter than Busan😭 #KoreaTravel #KoreaGood Places #KoreaNear Country Tour #Gyeongju #GyeongjuTravel #Monuments #Cafe #RoyalDunRoad
