This is large, impressive museum dedicated to the Silla culture. It has several buildings that are very well organized following a chronological order and with dedication to several aspects of the life of the Sillas including domestic and common aspects and royals features. The exhibit on the tomb treasures is impressive! Curation is excellent! Labels are in Korean and English. The Silla's bell is just beautiful. The bell is outside the museum and the exhibit is great, with excellent illumination. At night is really beautiful! We did not have to pay. It was a Korean holiday when we visited and because of this, the museum closed one hour later! We visited the museum in the afternoon. We spent 3 hours at the museum. when we arrived to the museum, it started to rain; rainy days are perfect for museum visits. The rain lasted for two hours; when we went to see the gardens, it was dry and pleasant. Because the museum closed late at 700 pm, we were able to see many sculptures, pagodas, and the bell located in the museum gardens with almost nobody around. The gardens looked beautiful at sunset. Lightning was really good. We learned a lot! The museum deserves at least 3 hours. We visited on September, 2019.

Juwangsan National Park (Woroe Course) is a fun and exciting place to visit along with the other courses. Me and My friends had fun here. Juwangsan National Park, which has a lot of strange rocks and waterfalls, seems to be a must-visit destination for everyone.

This is such a great spot for all members of the family. I recommend arriving 1-2 hours before sunset. Take a walk around to see the different perspectives of this wonderful bridge. The museum and folk village are nearby. You can make a full day of it here. There are few cafes and restaurants nearby you can rest at, eat, and wait until after sundown to see it all lit up. It is truly beautiful in the day and at night. I recommend not parking at the first main parking lot, but follow the road around to the secondary parking areas or park near the museum. The history and naming are posted in my pictures.
6. Andong Maskdance Festival

Reviewed By N8859GNameliam - London, United Kingdom
There were traditional experience centers where you could try making your own masks, as well as the performance that happens throughout the day. You have to buy a ticket to watch but it's worth it. It's something that is specific to Andong itself, and you can't find any place in Korea where the culture is so preserved and revered in such a fashion.

The eighth-century cave temple with a statue of Buddha looking at the sea.
Reviewed By moot - Tenbury Wells, United Kingdom
We hiked from Bulguk-sa all the way up (and on to Tohamsan Peak- take the trail beside the ticket booth) and down and although it was a slight challenge it was definitely worth it. The Buddha in the grotto is amazing and we were able to spend as long as we liked contemplating- we were there in November and there weren’t huge crowds but given the size of the toilet facilities and the car park I can imagine it gets very busy in season. The trees all around were stunning- definitely walk one way if you can manage it.

This is a UNESCO site. You can see the tombs (tumuli) of the many kings and queens members of the Silla dinasty. The place is surrounded by a wall; the gardens and tombs are very well kept. The tombs are unique; they are large, tall, and are covered by green grass. You cannot visit the interior of the tombs. Some of the treasures discovered in the tombs are located at the Gyeongju National museum and at the Seoul National Museum. To understand the place and its contents, it is a good idea to visit these two museums. The treasures are impressive! There are several paths that you can take to visit the site at your pace. The paths connect and are very easy to follow. The park is harmonized by traditional music. The trees are beautiful and full of fruits. The site is peaceful, sublime, and relaxing. Just spent time, walk around, seat on the benches, see the green color, feel the great past, monumental history of the Silla culture, listen to the Korean past. The site is easy to find. You have to pay a very cheap ticket to enter. You need 2 hours to enjoy the site. Close by, outside the site, there is a replica of the old Gyeongju bell in a nice shrine. It complements your visit. Daereungwon is perhaps, the most impressive site in the historical area of Gyeongju. The are some other tombs close by. They are not kept as well as the ones here.
