The museum without walls
The thousand-year capital of the Silla kingdom — grassy royal burial mounds, a UNESCO grotto and temple, an ancient observatory, and lantern-lit lake at night.
Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Bikes and buses; the historic sites are spread out.
Visit Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond after dark for its mirror-perfect reflections.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Wolji Pond illuminated at night is the main draw.
