if you love hiking this is a must visit , Hiking with family. Visiting Maebul of Sinsa Temple is a bonus . It is called Danseoksan because Kim Yu-shin cut the rock with a knife. The way you go up varies from place to place , its a bit difficult , but worth the hike so i would definitely recommend
5. Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond

I caught the 500 bus to samneung and walked to Geumobong Peak then down to Yongjang village then caught the same 500 bus back to Gyeongju. My favourite day to date in Gyeongju. Hiking was good .. quite a long 3 hour hike .. with plenty of stops and things to see on the way , tombs, Buddha, views and more. Plenty of people on the track so felt quite safe doing this alone. Take water and lunch with you. Thoroughly recommend if you like the outdoors and hiking. The tourist information booth gave me a map of the hiking route which was really helpful as well as telling me what bus to catch
