You might want to get your camera out and head to Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond— just one of the landmarks located 1.5 mi (2.4 km) from central Gyeongju. Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Tumuli Park and Daereungwon Royal Tomb, both nearby.
You can study the exhibits at Gyeongju National Museum, a museum with a story of its own, during your travels to Gyeongju. Wander the lakeside in this culturally rich area.
