Weekend trip to Gyeongju

I went to a weekend trip with rouxin, flora, shaoqin and bryan (from hongkong) to Gyeongju, in Southeastern Korea. Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla Kingdom for 1000 years and has a great concentration of historical buildings, temples and artifacts. It was 4 hours bus ride away from Seoul.

We visited many cultural places, such as the Tumuli Park, Gyeongju National Museum, Underwater Tomb of King Munmu, Three Storey Pagoda at Mujangsaji Temple Site and a few others.


Here's a picture of a royal tomb and standing on top.











And some other pictures from the trip as well...
