Tiene más de 20 tumbas grandes y pequeñas de la época de Shilla. Se presume que las tumbas son de reyes y oficiales de la corte. La mayoría de ellos son de tierra y en forma de montículo. Algunas con forma de calabaza doble son para el entierro conjunto de un esposo y una esposa. Como se descubrió que todos los excavados eran de tipo de cámara revestidos de piedra y piedra, se presume que la mayoría de las tumbas son del mismo tipo. Durante las excavaciones de Chenmachong y Hwangnamchong, se descubrieron numerosos artefactos (entre ellos, una corona de oro, fajas de oro, adornos personales de oro y plata, accesorios para caballos y armas).
Podría decirse que el mejor museo de historia de Corea, el Museo Nacional de Gyeongju es donde se puede apreciar el significado de esta antigua ciudad de una sola vez. La sala arqueológica principal tiene deslumbrantes exhibiciones de joyas, armas y otros artículos ceremoniales de la dinastía Shilla, incluida una corona de oro del siglo quinto.
Cheomseongdae significa "Star Gazing Tower". Construido durante el reinado de la Reina Seonduk (gobernante 27 de la dinastía Shilla) en 634, es el observatorio más antiguo que existe en el Lejano Oriente. Tiene 27 niveles de piedras en una forma redonda con cuatro juegos de barras paralelas para hacer una estructura cuadrada en su parte superior. Las 12 piedras de base rectangulares se colocan en un cuadrado, tres en cada lado, que representan las cuatro estaciones y doce meses de cada año. Durante más de dos mil años, los astrónomos estudiaron los movimientos de las estrellas y los planetas y los registraron. Los astrólogos de la corte informaron e interpretaron sus hallazgos al Rey, quien actuaría de acuerdo con sus predicciones.
El estanque Anapji se construyó en 674 después de la unificación de la Península Coreana. Pequeñas montañas fueron creadas dentro de las paredes del palacio, Se trajeron hermosos árboles y flores, así como aves y animales raros, desde todas las islas y colinas que rodean el estanque. Además, se construyeron varios pabellones a su alrededor y se utilizaron para festivales y banquetes estatales y como palacio de un príncipe.
El cercano Templo Bulguksa es el templo budista más famoso de Corea y el hogar de una serie de reliquias importantes del período de Silla, que incluyen, obviamente, las dos pagodas de piedra Dabotap y Soekgatap. También data del siglo VIII, pero se ha reconstruido en varias ocasiones.
La gruta de Seokguram es una ermita que forma parte del complejo del templo Bulguksa. La gruta domina el Mar del Este y descansa 750 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Posee algunas de las mejores esculturas budistas del mundo, incluido el Buda principal. La construcción duró desde 742 hasta 774. Dentro de la sala principal de forma redonda se encuentran la estatua de Bonjon, Bodhi-sattva y sus discípulos. La figura de Bonjon con una sonrisa generosa está sentada en el escenario con un diseño de flor de loto. Como el amanecer desde este lugar es bastante hermoso, muchas personas suben a la montaña al amanecer.

It was a long day, but absolutely worth it. We started early with Andrew picking us up from our Airbnb and driving us to the train station. He even waited with us and walked us onto the train when it was time to board. Two hours later, we arrived in Gyeongju, where our guide, Dongmin “Domingo,” was waiting right outside our train car. Domingo took us to several shrines and archaeological sites throughout the day, impressing us with his deep knowledge and personable nature. His decades of experience and local perspective on Gyeongju’s history and culture really stood out. The highlight of the day was lunch—Korean BBQ is a must when visiting Korea, and Domingo treated us to a restaurant his family frequents, making it feel extra special. After a few more stops, Domingo brought us back to the train station and made sure we were on our way to Seoul. For our first day in Korea, it was an incredible experience. Back in Seoul, you’ll need to arrange transportation back to where you are staying; having your address written in Korean helps avoid stress, as taxi drivers are unlikely to speak or read English.
John was great. He knew many stories about the city and its history. It was informative and Interesting. He also took us to the cutest little restaurant for lunch. The food was a large portion so we didn't eat it all but it was tasty. If we ever come back this way we would book this tour for friends.
This was the best tour if you like history. Well organized were met by a nice lady who took us to subway station and escorted us to our seats. Our guide Jay met us as we walked off subway in Gyeongju. We saw the burial mounds and even able to walk in an excavated one. He took us to several historic areas. Including a drive to the ocean. Last we went to the beautiful mountains to see a grotto with a massive Buddha dated back to 600. Impressive, Beautiful beyond words. Highly Highly recommend this tour. Thru Tagu travel Korea
This was a great tour: it was well organized, stress-free for us, and a great guide. We really want to give 5 stars, but unfortunately we had a hard time with the guide's accent. He was a historian, and knew not just korean history and culture, but was able to relate it to world history and culture also. We were so disappointed we were not able to understand him fully. What we loved about the tour is that it was stress-free. We didn't have to worry about details, so could just enjoy the day. Somebody met us at our hotel lobby, drove us to the train station and put us on the train. He even came into the train car to show us our reserved seats. He handed us the tickets in an envelope, with the train information including car# and seat#s written on the front, and also the return train information. On the back of the envelope was our hotel name and address, so that we can just show it to the taxi driver on the way home. At Gyeongju our guide met us at the platform, and took us around all day. Even at the museum he accompanied us, which was a great boon, because he was able to highlight the more important items, and relate them to what we had learned and seen earlier. He then brought us back to the station, waited with us on the platform and saw us into our train car. Gyeongju is fascinating and well worth the visit. We were afraid it would be too strenuous a day, but it wasn't. The day was full, but the getting there and back by the bullet train was relaxing, thanks to the tour company taking such good care of us.
We wanted to take a day out of the city to explore Gyeongju. It was amazing. Not only were the sights terrific but the tour company and our guide were the best. They took care of every detail and made sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. We could not have asked for a better experience. They even included amazing sites that were not on our itinerary because we had expressed an interest. We would highly recommend this tour and Tagy Travel Company. If we could give them 6 stars we would.
Amazing trip to see something very rare and interesting. To me this was one of the most important sites in S Korea
This was an amazing one day tour, and Tagy Travel Korea has done a great job in making this a very smooth and enjoyable experience for anyone based in Seoul, despite the fact that the destination is at the opposite end of the country. We we picked up at our hotel in Seoul, taken to the train station, and guided to our car and seats on the high speed KTX train. (If you have seen the movie “Train to Busan” this will be an extra treat.) The travel time is little over two hours with a lot of great scenery, and we were met in Gyeongju by Mr. Solomon, who was a very capable tour guide, who not only showed his enthusiasm for the region, but also went out of his way to spare us unnecessary walking when finding parking spaces on what was a pretty busy tourist day. Gyeongju is one of the most important (and enjoyable) tourist destinations in South Korea, with much older sites that you will find around Seoul. It is also a gorgeous destination in the fall (first week of November for us.) The only thing I would do differently for this tour would be to schedule it on a weekday, since so many people were out to see the fall foliage when we went on a Sunday. The first two stops on the tour, (the Seokguram Grotto and the Bulguksa Temple) were simply jaw-dropping when combined with the fall colors. Another highlight of the tour (which was NOT part of the tour description) was Mr. Solomon’s lunch suggestion at a well-known restaurant specializing in “Temple Food”, which was nearly all vegetarian. We had was must have been a 15-course meal with an incredible variety of dishes. Vegetarian restaurants are rare in Korea, but I’d recommend this very strongly. The Tumuli Park not only has a huge collection of funeral mounds, but also a stunning collection of different types of flowers. Mr. Solomon also timed our visit to the Anapji pond as it was getting dark, allowing us to take some incredible photos, and still make the train station in time for the return trip. We we met on the train platform in Seoul as we stepped out of the train car for the return back to our hotel— so there were no moments of uncertainty in getting back. I would STRONGLY recommend this tour for anyone based in Seoul who really wants to see another (and beautiful) side of South Korea.
Too much traveling from Seoul for what it is in the format of a day trip. Tour guide was kind but it heavy rained and that pretty much ruined it for me since everything to see is outdoors. Little improvement needed on english but i recommend the touring agency since they were accommodating when i had to make adjustments to time
We had a fantastic day exploring Gyeongju with Dylan. Was an easy trip on the KTX to and from Seoul and we got to see lots of fascinating Silla history. We would recommend this tour to anyone interested in ancient Korea and would recommend Dylan as a personable and knowledgeable tour guide.
Overall, this tour is definitely worth it to give anyone an overview understanding of Korean history starting from the Silla. For those who have more time, I would propose at least a 2 day visit but for us, we only had 1 day so this is pretty good. We did not have any problem getting to the train station to catch our bullet train and the local guide was waiting for us on the platform when we arrived at Geongju.
