Gyeongju National Park

The national park spans 137 square kilometers across eight sections, featuring mountains, valleys, forests, and archaeological sites throughout North Gyeongsang province.

Established in 1968, the park contains numerous structures from the Silla Dynasty, which governed the Korean peninsula from 57 BCE to 935 CE.

The park includes the Seokguram Grotto and Bulguksa Temple, both UNESCO World Heritage sites that display Buddhist architecture from the eighth century.

Multiple hiking trails connect the different sections of the park, with visitor centers providing maps and information about regional history and nature.

This national park stands as the only one in South Korea dedicated to preserving historical sites, containing royal tombs, temples, and archaeological remains.
