#Emotional Accommodation 15 minutes by car from Hwangridan-gil! Located in Cheonbuk, this pool villa is close to Bomun Tourist Complex, Gyeongju World, Bulguksa Temple, etc., making it a great place to plan your travel itinerary✅ There are 5 separate villas with individual pools, so you can choose any room, and until February, which is the winter season, only A, B, and VIP rooms have lukewarm water! They say lukewarm water, but it's so warm that you can see steam rising♨️, and it's big enough to swim and play!! It's a great place to focus on our trip while taking a walk in the wide lawn and enjoying barbecue & fireworks💚 ▪️Cheonbuk Village ▫️517-18 Cheonbuknam-ro, Cheonbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 🚪room B (swimming pool available in winter) ▫️Standard 2 people/Maximum 4 people ▫️Check-in 15:00-Check-out 11:00 ▫️1 bedroom, 1 bathroom (with bathtub), dressing table, kitchen, outdoor yard-pool ▫️Water purifier, TV, microwave, coffee machine, bidet, individual heating

Location: Near Hwangnam-dong Community Center. If you are driving, it is convenient to use the Hwangnam Cultural Center public parking lot right in front of the cafe. Address: 230-4 Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju. Atmosphere/Facilities: The cafe has a small pond and a boat inside, which gives it a mysterious vibe. Watching the lanterns floating on the pond reminds you of a scene from Rapunzel. The lanterns look prettier when they are lit, so I recommend going at dusk. The indoor and outdoor seating is wood-toned, and you can enjoy a beautiful view from any seat, but the seats are a bit close together, so visiting on a weekday will allow you to better appreciate the charm of this cafe. Serene beauty?! Key Points: The entire cafe is a no-kids zone. Average Price per Person: Americano 5800, Matcha Cream Milk 7800

#Emotional Accommodation If you go to Gyeongju, you must visit here!! Overall, it was really spacious and the surroundings were quiet, so I came back after healing 🫶🏻🫶🏻I liked the quiet hanok atmosphere, and the yard was really big ㅠㅠㅠIf you want to take a picture of your life, go to Durung Stay. As the name Gyeongju Hanok Emotional Accommodation suggests, it was emotional from the yard to the interior💚 A place I want to visit again when I go to Gyeongju next time❤️🧡 👉Gyeongju Hanok Emotional Accommodation Durung Stay 84-19 Mangseong 1-gil, Naenam-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongju Hanok Emotional Accommodation Durung Stay

#parksandgardens #100waysoftravel Bomun Tourist Park is located in Gyeongju City and covers a vast area. This time we visited the outdoor square for a while. If you have time, I recommend you to go for a walk inside and enjoy the afternoon. The rotation of the waterwheel is an iconic highlight here. The romance of the ginkgo trees turning yellow adds a lot of beauty to this trip. Cherry blossom trees and other types of trees line Bomun Lake in neat rows, creating a picturesque scene in each season, from spring to fall. Address: Korea Selatan, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongju-si, Bomun-ro, 446

I had a very comfortable stay at Baekgaok during my trip to Gyeongju. The place was clean and beautiful, and I had a great time enjoying the Jacuzzi and the cozy fire. I even ate cup noodles under the eaves and watched a movie with the projector. The interior design seemed to be meticulously done for the guests. It's close to Bulguksa Temple but not too crowded, so it was quiet and pleasant. The bedding was very comfortable, and it had everything I needed! I would love to stay here again when I visit Gyeongju in the future. 🍁 👉Gyeongju Baekgaok 45-13, Gwaeryeong-gil, Oedong-eup, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk

This is the best accommodation I've ever been to😍 The atmosphere was great and it was perfect for a quiet and relaxing stay. As soon as you open the door, the music makes you feel good. Above all, it was so clean that I loved it. There wasn't a speck of dust👍 When you see it in person, it's an incredibly emotional place, and every time you look at the first and second floors, you're amazed by the interior and the host's sense of style. You can feel the care put into every item and amenity, and it feels like everything was prepared from the traveler's perspective.👍👍 It's a place I want to visit again❣️ Address👉 Gyeongju Emotional Accommodation Hayu Diary Detached Pension 121-1 Gunsil-gil, Seomyeon, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk

Gyeongju is always beautiful in the fall!! Especially with a variety of flowers in full bloom!! At Cheomseongdae, there are really beautiful flowers gathered together😃 You can see various types of autumn flowers including pink muhly, asters, and pampas grass! In fact, just visiting Cheomseongdae in Gyeongju allows you to enjoy all the autumn flowers🌺 Personally, I find pink muhly really beautiful, but there are also a lot of people😭 📍Cheomseongdae Pink Muhly Inwang-dong, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk

#FallHotPlace #100TravelStyles Gyeongju is one of the must-visit travel destinations in the fall! I'll tell you about the famous fall flower spots🩵 Bagel Bageler in front of the zinnia! It was blooming so beautifully. It's still hot during the day on the outdoor terrace, so it's good to go when the sun is setting. This zinnia colony is also open for free, so you can take pictures of the flowers! Be sure to have a bagel at the cafe terrace😀 📍Bagel Bageler 18 Kyochon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (11:00 - 20:00)

Here is the itinerary for my trip to Gyeongju! The schedule mainly focuses on the popular Hwangridan-gil area! It was a pity that I had to stay in the accommodation more than expected due to the hot weather. ⭐️Day 1 Hwangridan-gil - Lunch (Seasoning) - Cafe (Olive) - Check-in at accommodation - Self-photo studio (Sina) - Daereungwon - Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (night view) - Takeout dinner ⭐️Day 2 Gyodong Myeonok - Coffee Place - The K Hotel / Accommodation tour - Takeout dinner and walk around Bomun Lake Resort ⭐️Day 3 Explore Hwangridan-gil - Hwangnam Gyeongju Restaurant - Cafe Secret Space

Experience the lush summer at Daereungwon. Daereungwon is a must-visit for nine out of ten people who go to Gyeongju! It's actually quite large, so instead of trying to see everything, it's better to just visit the spots you want. It's beautiful both day and night, so I recommend visiting at different times of the day! - Location: 31-1, Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongbuk - Must-have: Parasol (essential) - Look up desired spots in advance

If you want to experience authentic Korean traditional living, Sillabang Guesthouse (신라방) is a fantastic place to stay. This renovated hanok is located right in the city center, offering both convenience and rustic charm. Our room was spacious, equipped with high-speed internet and a large TV. The bed (tatami) was comfortable, and thanks to the traditional Korean floor heating, it stayed warm even on cold days! It is adjacent to Seongdong Market, where you can buy fresh gimbap or pig's feet. You can walk to the Wolseong Fortress Wall and the bus stop, which will take you to Bulguksa Temple, Anapji Pond, and all other tourist attractions in town. Free bicycles are provided, making it easy to explore most of the sights in a day. The courteous hanok owner is always helpful, offering free eggs, bread, coffee, and tea at any time. There's also an adorable dog that might bark at you initially but is actually very friendly. We took the slower Mugunghwa train from Busan to Gyeongju, and when we arrived at Gyeongju Station, Sillabang Guesthouse was just a 10-minute walk away. The Mugunghwa train is cheaper and takes less than 2 hours from Busan to Gyeongju, so if you're planning to include both cities in your itinerary, consider taking it. If we visit Gyeongju again, we would definitely stay here! The website is entirely in Korean, which might be intimidating, but just email the owner, and they will sort everything out.

#coupletravel #100waysoftravel #southkorea #gyeongju #sakurablossoms #cherrybloosom I would say Gyeongju is perfect for a couple's trip in spring. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, with petals flying everywhere, making the air feel sweet and romantic. Korean couples are all around, setting up their tripods to capture the perfect couple photos. We brought our own tripod too, and they were more than willing to help us take photos whenever we needed. We spent a lovely afternoon relaxing and chilling in the Sakura garden at Bulguksa Temple and by the peaceful Boemun Lake, soaking in the beauty of the season and each other's company. It was a truly magical and romantic experience.

If you often visit Seoul or Busan, you might want to explore different places in Korea, such as Gyeongju. In fact, it's very convenient to travel from Seoul or Busan to Gyeongju. You can take the Korail train and reach Gyeongju in just two hours. It's even closer from Busan, taking only half an hour to reach Singyeongju Station. However, since I don't know how to drive, I had to take a taxi to the city center. Make sure to have a phone with translation functions because most taxi drivers don't understand English. Visiting Gyeongju feels like traveling back in time to ancient Korea. You can stroll and take photos in the old streets of the city, which are very beautiful. Many shops in traditional Korean houses retain their architectural features, and you can spend half a day exploring them. Additionally, they offer traditional and creative Korean cuisine and souvenirs. Moreover, you can visit unique ancient buildings from the Silla Kingdom, including Daereungwon Tomb Complex, the thousand-year-old Cheomseongdae Observatory, Anapji Pond, and Woljeonggyo Bridge. These sites are especially beautiful at night when illuminated, offering a completely different visual experience compared to daytime. During the day, you can explore history, while at night, you can appreciate the art and romantic atmosphere. After visiting the palace buildings, I also toured Yangdong Village, which has a 500-year history. It's a place to experience the life of ancient commoners. People still live in Yangdong Village today, and from a distance, the hillside is filled with ancient houses, creating a dreamy feeling. Another highlight of visiting Gyeongju is staying in a traditional Korean house, which is a unique experience.

#ParkWalk #100TravelStyles ##SwimmingPool 🏡#RondaAtelier @ronda_atelier ▫️824-13 Gwaereung-ri, Gyeongju-si ◽️in 3:00 - out 11:00 A place that made me feel like I was in Spain! 🕊️ When I opened the door and went in, a really pretty garden unfolded, and I couldn't help but be amazed. The garden that the owner had lovingly tended was like a hidden gem. At night, the sound of nature could be heard quietly, so I just sat there and dazed myself for a long time. I can't believe there's a place like this in Gyeongju. I want to come back next time! 🕊️🕊️

Gyeongju, famous for its numerous cultural assets! This place is home to Chilbulam, where cultural heritage and natural scenery blend beautifully. Especially on summer days, you can easily spot mushrooms or toads in nature, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural surroundings. If you want to see beautiful nature despite the hot weather, we recommend Chilbulam in Gyeongju. 💐 📌 Location: 201 Chilbulam-gil, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk 📌 Hours: Open year-round

It's a little bit away from Hwangridan-gil, but it's a quiet place to heal 🫧 It's a place decorated with the owner's heart that you'll laugh and enjoy while staying! It has a yard, so I recommend it as a group accommodation that's good for bringing kids ㅎㅎ 🏠Yuyudam -5 Gangjeong 2-gil, Cheonbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do - Check-in 15:00 Check-out 11:00 #Emotional Accommodation

#Emotional Accommodation A 100,000 won emotional camping site where you can just show up, Bamboo Sound Camping Site. You can rent everything from dishes, utensils, mood lights, and stoves to decorations in the Bamboo Store for free, so even I, who am really bad at emotional camping, rented cute props and enjoyed the emotional camping feeling to the fullest.’ Not only the space in front of the caravan, but also there is a private barbecue room cabin right next to it, so you can have a barbecue party inside even if it rains! We also rented a stove, so it was very warm (You can also order a barbecue set) They even had a surprise raffle at night so it was even more fun! The inside of the caravan was so warm with heaters and electric blankets that I woke up because it was hotㅋㅋㅋ! Toiletries and towels are also provided and the shower rooms are individual shower rooms with powder rooms so it was very comfortable, and we also had drinks at the cafe that is operated together and breakfast was provided in the morning, which was even better. There are many things for children to enjoy so it is a perfect place for couples and families 🌟 Bamboo Sound Camping Site - 14-31 Galgok Sammak-gil, Cheonbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do - Check-in 15:00 Check-out 11:00 - Breakfast included 100,000 won~ #Gyeongju #Gyeongju travel #Glamping #Camping

Gyeongju is a historic city that served as the capital of the Silla Dynasty for over 1,000 years, known as Seorabeol, Geumseong, or Gyerim at the time. In particular, I visited Bulguksa Temple and Gameunsa Temple Site, which were representative temples of the Unified Silla period. 1️⃣ Bulguksa Temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, first built during the reign of King Beopheung but significantly reconstructed by Kim Dae-Seong during the reign of King Gyeongdeok after the unification. 2️⃣ Bulguksa Temple houses many relics, among which the Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas are the most famous. Dabotap, National Treasure No. 20, is also the background of the 10-won coin, and originally there were four stone lions at the base, but now only one remains. 3️⃣ Alongside Dabotap, Seokgatap, National Treasure No. 21, stands facing it. Notably, the oldest existing Mugujeonggwang Great Dharani Sutra was discovered in Seokgatap. 4️⃣ Leaving Bulguksa Temple and heading towards the city, you can see a replica of the nine-story pagoda of Hwangnyongsa Temple, which is said to have been the largest in Silla. 5️⃣ Leaving the city of Gyeongju and heading towards Gampo Bay on the East Sea, you can find the Gameunsa Temple Site, built by King Munmu's son in memory of his father who unified the three kingdoms, and there you can also see the Gameunsa Temple Site Three-Story Stone Pagoda, National Treasure No. 112. 6️⃣ Next to the Gameunsa Temple Site, in Gampo Bay, is King Munmu's underwater tomb, also known as Daewangam. 7️⃣ Gyeongju is also famous for delicious foods such as mulhoe and milmyeon, so be sure to try the local cuisine along with your historical and cultural journey of Silla.

During my visit to Gyeongju Tower Park, I spent beautiful and special moments. Here are some of them: 1. Exploring the lush gardens: I entered the park and wandered between the green trees and beautiful meadows. Enjoy the beauty of various flowers and tropical plants that add color and vitality to the place. Those moments were filled with tranquility and harmony with nature. 2. Walking along beautiful lanes: I toured the paved corridors of the garden and enjoyed walking along paths surrounded by trees and plants. They were quiet and comfortable moments that gave you the opportunity to rest and reflect on the beauty of the natural environment. 3. Outdoor dining: I enjoyed a snack or lunch at one of the dining areas in the garden. I relished the outdoor food and the splendor of the surrounding nature. It was a special moment where I could enjoy the food and take a break in a beautiful and comfortable atmosphere. Visiting Gyeongju Tower Park will be an unforgettable experience where you can enjoy the beauty of nature, tranquility, and relaxation.
