A walking tour course2(Hwangnyongsa Maru-gil )

Gyeongju is a wonderful place for leisurely walking and exploring. Here is a suggested walking tour route to visit the major attractions in downtown Gyeongju.

The Hwangnyongsa Maru-gil, from Bunhwangsa Temple to Woljeonggyo Bridge, is a path where you can feel the essence of the old city. It offers a pleasant walking distance of approximately 2km, leading you to various significant cultural heritage sites. I hope you have the opportunity to experience this walking trail. Along the way, you will encounter Bunhwangsa Temple, Hwangnyongsa Temple Site, Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, and the National Museum before reaching Woljeonggyo Bridge.

Embrace the beauty of all four seasons on the Hwangnyongsa Maru-gil, a scenic walking path.
