On Wednesday, 2 July, 2014, a wonderful trip to Gyeongju is waiting for you. Gyeongju is the most popular destination for people wishing to experience traditional Korean culture. The capital of the Silla Kingdom for almost 1000 years, Gyeongju region has a huge variety of significant historical heritage sites. It is located in the far South-eastern corner of Korea, 1.5 hours away from Busan.
