What You Can Enjoy in Gyeongju City

in travel •  7 years ago 

I believe that every place in the world has it's unique beauty and characteristics.
In this respect, Gyeongju has it's own beauty as I have posted until now.

Gyeonju is very famous place for historical relics.
It had been the capital of ancient kingdom for more than 1000 years.
So you can see the relics everywhere in Gyeongju.

The relics I have posted until now were merely few among all relics of Gyeongju.
As I posted before, Whole Gyeongju city is the museum itself.

But Gyeongju has another attractions except the relics.
In this posting, I'd like to show you this another aspects of beauty in Gyeong ju.

Of course, you can enjoy the tombs of ancient kings, but sometimes you can see the combination between the ancient and the contemporary as below.

Yes, it is a paragliding. You can land between the ancient tombs, if your are skillful navigator.

If not, you could land at the summit of the tomb.

A daily life by the street is also one of the attraction in Gyeongju
When you walk along the street, You can find out the old traditional style buildings.

It was a kind of a scent of history for me while walking along the street alone.

What I saw was a traditional hospital building.

It would be not bad to be hospitalized in such a nice place.

I kept walking along the street. There, I could see the tombs not named.

One of the excellent beauty was a scene of dusk.

You can enjoy the dusk everywhere in Gyeongju city.

It was romantic time taking a walk with falling sun.

The beauty lies to our mind.
If you try to see the beauty, you can find out the beauty everywhere.

People who are doing a parachuting have an amazing feeling of freedom and independence when they fly in the fresh air like a bird.

Beautiful Photography. I wish I could learn some great photography tips from you.

Thank you dear.
I am novice in photography

The sign of these tombs on the landscape is very beautiful. Like earth pyramids ... they remind me of the Etruscan tombs, which are called "tomboli."

Thank you.
It was first time to hear about tombli

Off topic but the first pictURe remind me of my game PUBG 😁😁😁

Beautiful photos! Thank you!

Enjoy dear
Its time to travel

wow. this place is really amazing.

Excellent travel photos! Thanks Man.

WowW this place is so amazing! it's so fresh and beautiful photography.I am so happy to see this.Thanks for shareing sir.

I heard a lot about this city in time of my childhood. My childhood was spent in time of USSR.

Really ?
At that time we were enemy each other lol

Yes, it was hard time. But I don't remember it. I was born in 1981. And USSR collapsed in 1991.
From that time my country Ukraine has become independent. We has taken freedom.

I wish I could Fly. Mesmerizing landscape photography. You looks a truer nature lover ..
Keep it up (Y)

Paragliding is still high on my wish list. awesome.

Some interesting piles to fly on, to fly from there is very daring. Ancient touch in photos makes it more attractive. Some lovely photos of mother nature. And the last one (sunset) is outstanding.

I resteem your post

Thank you for posting @slowwalker.

Such lovely photographs of the terrain and hospital.

Wishing you and yours all the best.

Cheers.

Too much thank you for your support

Qingzhou City, China, a city with a resplendent history, the ruins of the dynasty tell posterity here brilliant, Qingzhou evening decorated mausoleum

Despite the fear of heights, but paraglider I would fly too.....

The best reason why Gyeonju is a great place to travel is that we can get every tour spot and historical relics on foot. It was really good to look around. Happy to know that wr can enjoy paragliding there. If I can travel Gyeonju, I would like to try paragliding :) thx for the good info.

Thank you for comment

very nice

Beauty lies to the mind and lies in the mind. Love your photos. Thanks for sharing, hehe. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold. You can call me Joey.

really great place and excellent photography....

Hello my dear friend! Your story is always interesting. I would love to visit the city of Gyeongju with pleasure! And I would even like to see the tombs of ancient kings with one eye! Thanks for the story!)6432.png

Thank you for your interest, Socoloffa

You captured the beauty of this place very well,

But i have a question for you dear @slowwaljer that how many days in a month you are on a traveling adventure because you bring such a beautiful places everyday so i really want to know about your traveling schedule.🤓

half a month
may be

Waao that's cool, enjoy dear.

This is really lovely, I just wished I had the money to travel to this place...... It's really a lovely photography.

Wonderful photography, I like it
This travel very beautiful. I appreciate your post.........

The tombs of rulers Silla located in Gyeongju therefore quite favorite place for visitors. I am curious if is it allowed to paragliders to land at and around tombs, you know that sometimes in some countries it is forbidden.

The rural hospital looks really nice from outside I believe if they are not busy then it might be cozy atmosphere inside too.

The photos of dusk looks spectacular, really nice advertisement inviting to learn the area.

I was so surprised with paragliding on the tomb.
I don't know there are regulations on that
Thank you for comment

Amazing photos. Korea has a lot of ancient temples. I wish I could visit there someday

korea has a cool tourist spot, I want to like you can walk everywhere, amazing photography, and a fun trip, please help me if there is time @slowwalker yes.
I will restem

breathtaking view!

I believe that every place in the world has it's unique beauty and characteristics.

Yes, every place has its unique beauty..I live in north east India, full of natural beauty. I think this is the best place to hang on in holidays. You will for sure like this place.

I like the style of ancient building and street hospital. When you walked along the street, you felt a scent of history there. I think you are deeply connected with this ancient city, Gyeongju.

If you feel sleepy at evening, taking a walk with falling sun gives us the energy to get refresh quickly, as it is one of the fundamental source of cosmic creation. Really me, along with my colleague take a walk near the river Brahmaputra and spend a little time there by practicing yoga, this help us to remain energetic so that we can focus on our studies.
The beauty lies to our mind.

If you try to see the beauty, you can find out the beauty everywhere.

Totally agree with above line.
Thank you.

Thank you for your comment.
India and Gyeongju had very close relationships in ancient ages.
It was believed that a queen came to Shilla from India

Really..!! Yeah, glad that we have close relationship.

천년을 간직한 왕릉의 거대한 모습이 참 인상적입니다
노을진 풍경도 넘 아름답고요

감사합니다

excellent as always..

stunning post.

Really love that pop of red against the sky. Great shots...and you’re right. There’s beauty everywhere, just have to look a little deeper sometimes.

I have seen the paragliding videos in Korea and it is truly breath taking.

Wow. The falling sun. ^^ this is the first time I'm seeing sunset in Korean, what a beauty.

The sunset time is looking so lovely.

you have a very sensitive soul to the environment, and hopefully the journey is always fun

경주 몇번갔었는데~~ 전통 의원은 처음 봤네요.^^ 그리고 해질녁 사진은 언제나 마음설레게 하는듯 해서 좋네요^^ 오늘도 잘보고 갑니다~!!

감사합니다

travel fun, success continues for you, good job @ slowwalker

You're right to say that every place has its beauty, that without forgetting that beauty is subjective, Gyeongju is a pretty quiet place and those romantic sunsets certainly very romantic.

I've enjoyed reading this post and I find paragliding to be a wonderful way to explore any region that allows it :) Just one question, is it possible to see the inside of the tombs or just the hills ? Kind regards, Damijan

Almost of tombs were not excavated yet.
Only one tomb was open to see inside.

@slowwalker, i am not sure if the water in the pictures is getting frozen already or not? Loks like it was not warm, because the trees didnt have an leaves. My father always like to make such paragliding in the air. But myself is to much afraid. Maybe I gives him a drive on his next Wednesday in some month. I think that will be great, thanks for the idea :-)

Yes it was cold when I dropped by Gyeongju

Lovely post. :)

Extraordinary place.. Love it.. 😃😃😃😃

Thank you for allowing us to travel the world through your photographs and publications. Greetings from Venezuela

good your post

Wow Paragliding in Gyeongju! Now that is something I haven't seen done during my years in Korea. Love the rich history of Korea. It's really amazing. I have so many great memories of your country, often the best ones were day trips out side of the city, but if I recall my Korean geography Gyeongju was a bit far and I never made it there.

So my slowwalker friend. I've been traveling way too fast lately. I had to slow things down not to get travel burn-out. In the past 3 weeks I've gone from Cusco Peru to Patagonia with many stops in between.

I just rented an apartment for 15 nights here in Santiago Chile. I Will be doing as little as possible! I have my own kitchen, living room, even a 60 inch TV with Nintendo hooked up to it!

I also have time to visit your awesome blog and many other's as well! This is exactly what I needed. Now I'm going to go into the kitchen and make myself a sandwich! Wishing you the very best from Santiago Chile! -Dan "World Travel Pro!"

Well, you did right choice.
Sometimes taking a rest is better option in traveling in my opinion to enjoy more pleasure deep in your inside

Absolutely. To perpetually travel at such a fast speed will make you miserable after a while. So taking a good rest will have me feeling fresh and excited for the next adventure.....Uruguay, Argentina, and maybe Paraguay, then Florida, and New York!

Great photos, man! I was there some years ago and I had the chance to know how to make kimchi with a local family. Fantastic place and food :)

Great, I would like to visit that place, thanks for sharing your experience

I really love those pictures of the hills (tombs?) and the sky! They look great and almost have an abstract feel to them.

Gyeongju has a very rich history, as very rightly said this whole place is like a museum. It's nice to keep exploring this place with your post, the picture of the dusk is very beautiful. I can relate this place more to Egypt, since there also in every nook and corner of the country you find some historic evidence.

Thank you for comment.
It was 10 years ago when I had visited Egypt last time.
Your comment made me think the pleasure in Egypt

Cool, I would like to take pictures of these small mountains.
And Thank you!! That you make time and look my photos.

Thank you so much

You are welcome :)

Beautiful city of Gyeongju. I like the scenery in the hour of the setting sun. You made great shots. And I really like the processing of your photos. Are THESE vsco filters? Beautiful and peaceful, the architecture is amazing!

I didn't use filters.
I am novice, so I don't know so much about technics of camera

Wow! I would love to one day paraglide and land between the ancient tombs. Looks awesome.

Nice photos as always, I enjoyed the read.

You found a beautiful good shot.

Beautiful photographs, I’m enjoying getting to know South Korea through your account! I’ll gladly be following for more ✊🏽

When you will go to Jeju Island? I'm waiting your story about it!

I totally agree with what you say

I believe that every place in the world has it's unique beauty

atmosphere Gyeongju this really looks beautiful, many thanks for sharing my friend

Beautiful. I don't know when I can go there :)
