A two-person team, ‘97s’, selected through the Tourist Model Contest, embarked on a journey to Gyeongju during the autumn season. '97's is the team name created by Jeongju and Soyeong, Korean literature students preparing for employment. They chose the name '97's because they were born in 1997. The two friends proposed the concept of a "Boost Yourself, Gyeongju Trip,"

Here is the second travel story. On the second day, they encountered an even deeper embrace of Gyeongju's autumn. Captured within the frames were not only the resplendent colors of Gyeongju's autumn but also the cherished moments of the two friends that outshone even the city's vibrant season.

To create our unique and memorable experience in Gyeongju, we have chosen to engage in the Silla Dynasty costume experience. We head directly to the costume experience provider according to their opening hours. (Doldamgil Hanbok, located on the stone wall trail west of Daereungwon Ancient Tombs)

We follow the stone wall trail toward the rear entrance of Daereungwon Ancient Tombs. Drawing the attention of passersby, the two individuals become the focus of attention. Other tourists are captivated by us and constantly request to take photos together.

Now, we have arrived at Daereungwon Tomb Complex.

With the tombs as our backdrop, it feels as if we have instantly traveled back in time, riding a time machine to a thousand years ago.

No matter where we take photos, it feels like we could easily create a whole movie or drama.

위치 아이콘. The peak of autumn beauty at the Ungokseowon Confucian Academy 바로가기 아이콘

As recommended by the editor to those who suggested the autumn concept, here are some of Gyeongju's autumn must-visit places. While they are beautiful throughout the year, Unjeongseowon Confucian Academy during the first or second week of November, when the yellow silk cloth is spread out, truly represents the essence of Gyeongju's autumn.

Ungokseowon Confucian Academy is located near Wangsin Reservoir in the eastern part, approximately midway on the way to Yangdong Village in northern Gyeongju.

After spending a longer-than-expected time at this place, the two friends from 97's sincerely expressed their gratitude to the editor who recommended this spot.
