Traveling southeast from Seoul to Gyeongju located in North Gyeongsang province. Once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Silla, which ruled most of the Korean peninsula during the 7th to 9th centuries, many remnants remain from this period leading to the city being known as “the museum without walls”.

An afternoon tour of Gyeongju takes you to Tumuli Park, where you can visit some of the more than 20 large and small tombs from the Silla period, including that of King Michu, the dynasty’s 13th king famous for fending off invaders. Legends even tell of soldiers with bamboo leaves stuffed in their ears emerging from his grave to fend off invaders after his death, explaining why his grave is known as the “Bamboo Soldier’s Tomb.”

Also once part of the ancient Silla complex is Anapji Pond, a picturesque pond where the Silla royal family spent their free time. During renovations to the area in the 1970s and 1980s, many relics were unearthed and are now housed in the Gyeongju National Museum next to the Emille Bell.
