Hello everyone. It is a real trip again.
Today, we will learn about the Three Kingdoms era on the Korean Peninsula (the era when there were three great countries on the Korean peninsula), and also introduce tourist attractions that foreigners can easily access.
In fact, there were many small countries in prehistoric times and after prehistoric times. I wanted to tell you about the history. But when there were many small countries, there was not much tourist attraction left in Korea, so I decided to skip to the story of Three Kingdoms period.
The story of Gojoseon, the first nation on the Korean peninsula, and the various other countries after that, will be explained when a lot of requests come in. Would you like to go to the story of the Three Kingdoms?
Three countries can be divided into 'Goguryeo', 'Baekje' and 'Silla'. In fact, in the southern part of the peninsula there was a country called 'Kaya' but it was eventually merged into 'Silla' under the pressure of various countries. Therefore, 'Kaya' appears in Korean history story, but it does not call it four national cities, and calls it three national cities.
First, I want to talk about 'Goguryeo'. Goguryeo is the land of three of the three countries. Of course, Baekje and Silla also had their respective primitive periods, but there was more territory to expand because relatively Goguryeo was in the north of the peninsula. Goguryeo has spread to the north of the Korean peninsula, and now to the North. So now, there are few Koguryo heritage sites in Korea, and Baekje and Silla relics will be introduced as tourist attractions that foreigners should visit.
Second ,Baekje developed in the south and south of the peninsula, mainly in the west. If you want to come to Korea and visit Baekje tourist attractions, it is best to remember the three cities 'Seoul', 'Gyeonggi' and 'Princess'. The first capital of Paekche was now Seoul, moved to Goguryeo to move the capital to the present princess, and once again moved the capital to grant it now to develop the country.
Third, Silla developed in the south and south of the peninsula, mainly in the east. The center of Silla is now called 'Gyeongju'. Silla subjugates Goguryeo and Baekje, and the first unification of the Korean Peninsula is achieved. Gyeongju is a city with a history of 1000 years from 57 BC to 935 BC.
※ This map is a prime map of 'Goguryeo'. 'Baekje' and 'Silla' seem relatively small. This picture is roughly where 'Goguryeo', 'Baekje', 'Silla' and 'Kaya' It is only to help understanding.
Now, let's talk about sightseeing in earnest.
It is sightseeing spot of Baekje. There are 'Mongchon Saturn and Hanseong Baekje Museum' in Songpa-gu, Seoul. During the 1988 Seoul Olympics, we are discovering the Mongchon Saturn, the ruins of Baekje. I built 'Hanseong Baekje Museum' beside 'Mongchon Saturn'. The Han Seung Baekje Museum shows the history of Baekje related to Seoul.
Opening hours are from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, and from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm on weekends and public holidays. (I will post Korean holidays in a short time!) For more information, please visit baekjemuseum.seoul.go.kr (English version is available)
If you have a chance to get on the train, ride the intercity bus or drive directly to the province, you might want to go down to the Princess. The 'Princess' has many tourist attractions related to Baekje, but the 'National Princess Museum' is the place where foreigners can enjoy the most easily. In the museum, "Baekje Jin Dong Dae Hyangro", the representative of Baekje, is exhibited as a representative work, and the artifacts related to Baekje are exhibited.

How are you today? In the near future, we will raise 'Korean holidays' with abduction, and then we will deal with the process of unification of the Three Kingdoms of Silla, the Unified Silla, and Bohai. Next time I will come to you with a richer and more interesting story. Thank you.
