The must visit places in gyeongju are 동궁과 월지(donggung palace and wolji pond), 불국사(bulguksa temple), and 첨성대(cheomseongdae observatory). The palace is very famous for the night view so I recommend you visit the temple and observatory in the morning and the palace at night. These destinations are THE places Korean students visit on school trips so everyone in Korea have visited them at least once in their school years. I hope you could see all of them and learn about the rich history Gyeongju has to offer about the Silla Dynasty. Have a nice trip!

[@misunlee196]

Hwangri dan gil(황리단길) is the alley in gyeongju where all the hip cafes and restaurants are located.

[@Utbr88]

GyeongJu is the city I went for my high school field trip. Back in the 80s. Lol. It is very historic city where it was a capital of ancient Korean kingdom called Shilla founded more than 2000 years ago. You gotta go visit those royal tombs. And a Buddhist temple called BulKukSa as well as SeokGulAm. Enjoy!

[@user-vu2ge2ww5y]

I recommend checking Tongyoung(통영), which has a cool cable car. on the top of the mountain you will find the most beautiful view.

[@yuminemmy]

Bulguksa(불국사) temple is very famous and nice place to walk and look around. Chunmachong천마총 in Daeneongwon대릉원 is a must visit place. It's a Toomb you can walk in and very pleasant place to take a walk. Nightview of Dong-goong and walji 동궁과 월지 is beautiful. Have a nice trip.

[@user-kv8go2cg4f]

Wow you really went to the Gyeongju!!! Fanatastic!!! The representative places of Gyeongju are Bulguksa Temple, Cheomseongdae, Donggung & Wolji, Woljeonggyo (Cheomseongdae, Donggung & Wolji, and Woljeonggyo are recommended for evening and night), Daereungwon, Bomundanji, Hwangridan-gil as a date spot, Hill of Hwarang, Gyochon Village, House of Mr. Choi the Richest People (worthy of life lesson) etc..... It would be good to appreciate the curve of beauty of the hanok and royal tombs that appear. Above all, the positive attitude and smile of the two of you is even more wonderful to us~~~Have a good journey

Sorry if a repeat i think link msg got deleted. Try a templestay Beopjusa i stayed at, Great experience!!!

Their smiles are so lovely^^ Have a nice trip^^😁👍😘🤗

[@MrGerardKim]

I kinda envy you guys. Yes, Korean public transportation is safe and awesome! Enjoy your trip!

[@BegaW]

Yes, that's the problem. We call it Seongsugi which is the high season. The price goes up like crazy especially on saturdays. I also had to pay the unreasonable(I feel) price on last saturday in the south coast area. Btw, I'd recommend you guys to visit the National Museum in Gyoungju. The city as you might know was the capital of Silla Dynasty and more than half of the golden crowns of the world came from the Silla Dynasty. Bulguksa temple, Anapji pond(you can see lots of the lotus flowers) is highly recommended. Have a great time guys.🌸🌸🍀

[@OnePackWanderers]

Wow, that is quite an incredible fact about the golden crowns! Is it very common for Koreans to do short weekend trips? Many places have high season but we have never observed such a huge spike on just Saturdays!

[@cosmos8098]

Please visit the royal tombs that date back all the way to Shilla Kingdom! It'd also be cool to see Tia or Cheveyo dress up in hanboks as well as you tour the historic sites! Also highly recommend 한정식 (han jeongsik, korean style table d'hote that comes with tens of various upscale side dishes and main foods (prepared from the sea, land, and air) at places like Yosokkong. Even if it's a bit pricey, it's the pinnacle of traditional Korean food (versus fried banchans).

[@user-oi3py8nl8z]

Gyeongju was the capital for 1000 years during the Silla Dynasty. Gyeongju has many cultural assets and historic sites, which are well preserved to this day. The design Dabotap from that I ate in Busan It is located at Bulguksa Temple in Gyeongju. Be sure to visit Seokguram Grotto In order to protect cultural properties, the government Limiting modern skyscrapers It will be the most valuable trip in Korea. Have fun in the race

[@ckhmod]

There is so much to see here and especially everything you mentioned. This place is more about what’s around it for certain. Traveled several times to every place you’ve mentioned and it just gets better and better with every trip. Cheomseongdae in fall season when the fields are pink, is truly a site of wonder.

[@e.p8516]

As a transplant from Seoul to CA, I miss Seoul so much. So thank you for your video. Enjoyed your video clips, you seem to be focused on nature and sightseeing and budget trip. If you trip to Korea, you could enjoy a lot more in Seoul and other cities. There are a lot of aesthetic and "unique" cafes, unique book stores, and museums (might be against budget trip), you may research and try more that you would not want to miss things while being in S Korea.

[@FlavorofMind]

I can vouch, as a transplant from Seoul to Philadelphia, that I also miss Seoul very very much! There are so many things to like about it 🥲

[@OnePackWanderers]

Yea it's definitely all about personal preference 🙂 Seoul is a really cool city and we had a lot of fun there. We can tell it would also be a really great city for shopping and high-end eats, if that's what you like.

한국은 도시마다 분위기가 완전 다르죠...행복한 여행 되시길 빕니다...옛날에 갔었는데 오랜만에 영상으로 경주를 보게 되네요 감사합니다😊😊😊...

[@jongookyoon1102]

For a thousand years Gyeongju had been the capital of Shilla, the first country to unify the Korean Peninsula. But the Mongol invasion in the 13th century and other wars have pretty much destroyed the whole city. Bulguksa temple has been restored to its former state and Seokgulam shrine nearby is one of the best preserved stone-built structure in the country. These two, I would say, are the must-see landmarks of the city. The royal tombs, the palace ruins, and Cheomseongdae (the observatory) are all located within the walking distance from the city center and are worth a visit if you have time. Bulguksa & Seokgulam are a bit far from the city center though. If you want to experience nature, Namsan (South Mountain) is a good place to hike. Anyhow, thanks for the video. Greatly enjoyed it!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you so much for the all the information! We are really loving this city for all the history here, especially the tombs

[@FlavorofMind]

Was glad to see you guys visit Busan, but now I'm extra happy you're featuring Gyeongju - it's less known to folks that just come to Korea for a 1st visit, but it's got some real treasures. Keep it coming!

[@Heyudontwannaknow]

the beautiful smiles from the beautiful couple! love your smiles!!!

[@zhchoe469]

Please go to Gyeongju National Museum. If you go there, you can see the 1,000-year history of the Silla Kingdom at a glance. Look around carefully. Price is free.

[@Potomacstud]

Always happy to see the dynamic duo and yet another beautiful upload

[@DressedRunner]

I feel like Gyeongju really shines if you love the history of ancient Korea! Gyeongju is actually called Seorabeol in the past, the capital of Silla, which is one of the three kingdoms of ancient Korea. That is also why you can find many tombs of legendary Silla rulers in this area, such as Queen Seon-duk and General Kim Yu-sin!

[@DavidandSarah]

The coin pancake looked so creative! very cool. Looked delicious too. So did the chicken!! We love tender chicken 🤤🤤🤤 $8 for a 1.5 hour bus ride?! that's amazing!! love your travel sandals by the way 😊

Welcome to Korea. 😊 . The weather is soooooo hot. Be careful plz 💜💜

[@johnlim549]

Spotted a Paris Baguette at the Busan bus terminal! It is a Korean based bakery/cafe with branches all over the world. Tia likes desserts so you should try their cakes once before you leave Korea.

[@JoyceWee_INFJ-T]

You guys are awesome, it’s so nice to see both of you enjoying korea that much 👍👍 and showing us so many other places of korea (*especially after the past two years of little travelling). Can’t wait to see more of your vids. Stay safe, eat more, and lastly, enjoy each and every moment 😊😊

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you, Jocelyn 😊

[@filipinoboo]

try 지코바 chicken haha and night beach feeling in Busan

[@ginapino2857]

Are you guys going to Jeju Island? Hope it is on your list😀 for Tia’s snacks and well priced foods, you should check out convenience stores. They have so much food. Much much better than US 7 elevens.

[@OnePackWanderers]

We'd really love to go to Jeju, but all the research we have done seems to suggest a rental car is a must. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but our international driving permits recently expired. So it will probably be a trip for our next stop in Korea 😊 7-11 here is unbelievably good! Convenience stores are entirely different beasts in Asia, it's so cool.

[@jindallae]

It could be rewarding to learn the Korean writing while you're in Korea. The alphabets are pretty easy to learn. It is said to be so easy to learn that smart people can learn it during a rest room break. If you are able to read out the signs it will be fun!

[@stewartl5109]

Generally when eating shrimp 🍤 as is here in Vietnam.. and most of Asia as I’ve experienced you can eat all of it.. when we prepare for bbq, hotpot, etc we just use scissors to cut the really sharp pointy part off.. Good for health roughage I guess 😊😂

[@OnePackWanderers]

Hahaha indeed 😂 I am surprised more places don't eat all of it. It doesn't really taste that different from the rest, to be honest

[@giojuno]

10:30 As a big fan who wants your trip in Korea to be fun , I am so glad to see your mood.Enjoy your trip in Gyeongju.😘

Here's more handy tips. Seokguram is a small cave and you have to climb a mountain, but you cannot take pictures inside Seokguram. Gyeongju is the capital of the Silla dynasty, one of the three countries, and it will be more interesting if you study the history a little and see. If you go to Gyeongju National Museum and Cheonmachong, you can take pictures with highly sophisticated crafts and relics inside. It will be worthwhile to appreciate the ancient artefacts. It's not an advertisement. Personally, among cafes, CAFFE MAPLE in Gyeongju was very very cozy and well decorated. Have a happy and enjoyable trip~~~

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for the tips! Cafe Maple is indeed really nice 🙂

[@ehmmmjay9907]

If you like red bean desserts definitely check out Gyeonju Bread (hwangnam pang), which is like the specialty of the area. You can find it near the big tombs and stuff everyone goes to Gyeongju for. When I visited the two dishes I ate the most were milmyeon (cold noodles in a vinegary savory broth) and jjajangmyeon (noodles in brown pork sauce). I also did like a multi-course royal dinner thing where you sit in a private room with a view of a garden. I didn't pay for it and I imagine it's quite pricey, but I would look it up because it was quite an experience!

[@FlavorofMind]

That Hwangnam bread is the real deal! Couldn't agree more!

[@OnePackWanderers]

Definitely will try this bread, and those soups look incredible. The royal meal thing looks like a lot of fun but the ones we've seen are equivalent to 2-4 days' budget for us so I think it will be a rain check type deal for that 😂

[@jampar8]

Jjajangmyeon is black bean sauce not brown pork sauce lol

[@adaytoremember6218]

Did you get to see a drone show? They have it on every saturday at 8pm and 10pm at Gwanganli beach. The weather is getting super hot. Stay healthy and enjoy the rest of your trip.^^

Loved the fried chicken in South Korea. And I'm from the American South. Seafood pizza was pretty interesting in Busan. There's also a cable car that takes you up above the city. I much preferred Seoul to Busan, but needed to get to Busan in order to take an overnight boat to Japan. I hope you're on your way to Wayakama City and Osaka. Try out the onsens. Did you enjoy one in South Korea?! Hope so. Must leave modesty at the door. 😆

It’s generally more expensive on weekends bc…well to preface it, lots of korean adults live with their parents as a cultural thing in Korea and compared to the west its very common.

Reason none of the hotels you guys stayed in Korea asking for ID is probably because you guys always stay at “love hotel”, which I noticed on your videos.
