Bulguksa Temple As a representative temple built during the time of unified Silla, Bulguksa Temple is a designated #UNESCO World Heritage. Located at the foot of Tohamsan Mountain, the temple is #popular for blooming cherry blossoms in #spring and #colorful foliage in #fall. The specific date of Bulguksa Temple’s establishment remains uncertain due to conflict in the historical records; however, most agree that it was built by Prime Minister Kim Daeseong during the reign of King Gyeongdeok (r.742-765), the 35th ruler of the Silla Dynasty. Bulguksa Temple holds many stories, but the most famous story would be how the temple was built. Kim Daeseong’s determination to build the temple came from his belief of karma and reincarnation. He believed that he was born and raised poorly in his previous life, but was reincarnated in a wealthy family and was raised to be a prime minister as a result of his prior mother’s good deeds. As he had lived two lives, he built Seokguram Grotto for the sake his parents of his previous life and Bulguksa Temple for the sake of his parents of his present life. Hours will pass by in the blink of an eye at Bulguksa Temple. Take in the #scenery and stories of Cheongungyo and Baegungyo Bridges that connect the secular world to the higher world of Buddha, Seokgatap Pagoda that tells the heartbreaking tale of a famous stonemason Asadal and his wife Asanyeo, and Dabotap Pagoda engraved on Korea’s penny. Bulguksa Temple is a treasure trove of cultural relics and stories like these.

Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond A spot famous for the most #beautiful #nightscape in #Gyeongju - #AnapjiPond! Its original name is #Donggung Palace and #Wolji Pond, but Koreans more commonly know the pond as Anapji (pond of geese and ducks). There is a story behind to why this place earned its name. Donggung Palace refers to the palace where Silla’s crown prince lived and Wolji Pond was the man-made pond created in front of Donggung Palace. The site was a royal villa often used as a banquet venue for important guests and special celebrations. When the Unified Silla had fallen, the entire place was left abandoned to be occupied by overgrown reeds, wild geese and ducks, hence the name Anapji Pond. However, a clay bowl was unearthed in 2011 with the name “Wolji” written on it, thereby identifying the true name of the pond. Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond are known to be more spectacular at night than in the day. When the sun sets and darkness falls upon the site, the night lights and the surrounding trees create a fascinating scene. It may even give a sensational feeling of walking at night in the past during the time of Silla Dynasty.
