Gyeongju, where Korea's most cultural sites are situated, is known to be the most popular destination for foreign tourists next to the capital, Seoul. Gyeongju is a meaningful place not only for Korean people but for the international community.
The city of Gyeongju is divided into five districts that are collectively called the Gyeongju Historic Areas and registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Because these five districts are representative of Gyeongju, we will base our tour on what can be seen in these districts. Just looking at the artifacts and relics in these five districts can provide a good overall grasp of Silla culture. These five districts include: Namsan District, the treasure chest of Buddhist art; Wolseong District, the site of palace architecture of the thousand-year-empire; Daeneungwon District, where royal tombs of the early Silla kings can be found; Hwangnyongsa District, the center of Silla Buddhism; and Myeonghwalsanseong Fortress, the bastion of ancient Silla Foreword : Why Gyeongju?
