A must-visit spot when traveling to Busan is the Gyeongju Choi Clan's old house, a well-preserved traditional Korean house. The Choi family was a prominent and wealthy family in Gyeongju, with a history spanning twelve generations. At its peak, the family owned an astonishing 1 million pyeong of land. The traditional Korean house architecture is quite rustic and charming. During its heyday, there were as many as 99 rooms, but now only 50 remain. Despite this, the place still exudes an antique charm. Visitors can wear hanbok and take photos here, and whether you're an influencer or not, once you put on the hanbok and walk around, you'll feel the atmosphere, making it a great place for photos.

#Emotional Cafe How pretty would it be if it were more colorful? A cafe with a view of the ancient tombs near Hwangridan-gil, Zorba. The window seat was so pretty that I really liked it! It was amazing that it had a view of Bonghwangdae with a view of the ancient tombs, and the autumn colors added to it, making it really beautiful. The rooftop was wider and prettier than I thought, and it was even better because I could see the roofs of the Hanok houses. The interior was also pretty everywhere. It was a shame that the chestnut tiramisu was sold out. There is a place that sells Buddha face bread on the first floor, so I recommend visiting them together! “Zorba” - 735 Taejong-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do “2nd floor” - Open daily from 11:00 to 19:00 - Parking available in the empty lot next to the building #Gyeongju travel #Gyeongju #Gyeongju cafe

Location: Near Hwangnam-dong Community Center. If you are driving, it is convenient to use the Hwangnam Cultural Center public parking lot right in front of the cafe. Address: 230-4 Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju. Atmosphere/Facilities: The cafe has a small pond and a boat inside, which gives it a mysterious vibe. Watching the lanterns floating on the pond reminds you of a scene from Rapunzel. The lanterns look prettier when they are lit, so I recommend going at dusk. The indoor and outdoor seating is wood-toned, and you can enjoy a beautiful view from any seat, but the seats are a bit close together, so visiting on a weekday will allow you to better appreciate the charm of this cafe. Serene beauty?! Key Points: The entire cafe is a no-kids zone. Average Price per Person: Americano 5800, Matcha Cream Milk 7800

This is my first time here. I came here with my wife and child on the recommendation of people around me. The facilities are much cleaner than I thought. There are independent pool villas and single-story pool villas. It was nice that the price was not as expensive as I thought. First of all, 1. It is a hot spring indoor pool, so it is warm. (It is suitable for the weather these days) 2. My wife liked that there was a mini jjimjilbang. 3. The location is near Bomun, but it is in the mountains. (It is in the mountains, but delivery food was available.) 4. Good soundproofing 5. Outdoor dining and charcoal grills are provided 6. Emergency medicine is well prepared And, most of all. The night sky was so beautiful and nice. If you come to Gyeongju, it is worth coming with family, lovers... #Countryside scenery #Places to go with children #Gyeongju-si #Gyeongju travel #Pool villa recommendation #Hot spring pool #Jjimjilbang #Gyeongju World

#parksandgardens #100waysoftravel Bomun Tourist Park is located in Gyeongju City and covers a vast area. This time we visited the outdoor square for a while. If you have time, I recommend you to go for a walk inside and enjoy the afternoon. The rotation of the waterwheel is an iconic highlight here. The romance of the ginkgo trees turning yellow adds a lot of beauty to this trip. Cherry blossom trees and other types of trees line Bomun Lake in neat rows, creating a picturesque scene in each season, from spring to fall.

A salt bread shop with its main store in Seoul has opened in Gyeongju🥐 I wanted to try the original, but when I went around 3pm, it was almost all sold out😭 I ate the remaining cheese olives and truffle squid ink🥹 The truffles have a strong aroma, so those who like truffles might like them!! The cheese olives were light and delicious☺️ For drinks, I recommend the salted chocolate, which is delicious!

I had a very comfortable stay at Baekgaok during my trip to Gyeongju. The place was clean and beautiful, and I had a great time enjoying the Jacuzzi and the cozy fire. I even ate cup noodles under the eaves and watched a movie with the projector. The interior design seemed to be meticulously done for the guests. It's close to Bulguksa Temple but not too crowded, so it was quiet and pleasant. The bedding was very comfortable, and it had everything I needed! I would love to stay here again when I visit Gyeongju in the future. 🍁 👉Gyeongju Baekgaok 45-13, Gwaeryeong-gil, Oedong-eup, Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk
