Day 3 Historic Korea

We bought a tour of Gyeongju for today. It’s about an hour north of Busan, and was the capitol of the Silla kingdom, dating from the 8th century. So there are Buddhist sites and original and recreated historic buildings.

Bulguksa Temple
Hike to Seokguram grotto (photos not allowed in grotto)
Wolji pond at Donggung palace
Cheomseongdae observatory – original structure, not a re-
creation
Woljeong bridge (re-creation)

Lots to see, warm weather, and a fast tour guide – we got back to the hotel and just fell asleep.
