There’s plenty to do in Gyeongju beyond its historic center: hike the nearby hills, about five minutes from downtown, and you may come across Buddhist carvings and shrines along the way. The city also has a large water park and public and private sports facilities for year-round recreation. Along the coast, there’s a long pine-lined beach with a seawater spa. In the World Heritage-listed historic area, you’ll find rock carvings, tumuli, temples, and pagodas, as well as a history museum and folk village where you can shop for handicrafts. The area’s Shilla crafts and traditional dishes add to its appeal. Gyeongju is a popular destination in South Korea, known for its cultural history as well as mountain and coastal scenery.
