A walking tour course3(Samneung Royal Tombs)

Walking along the trail around Namsan West, you can experience the saying, "The history of Silla begins on Namsan and ends on Namsan." You will encounter the wellspring Najeong, which is associated with the birth myth of Park Hyeokgeose, the founding father of Silla, as well as his tomb at Oreung Royal Tombs.

Another significant place along the trail is the Changrimsa Temple Site, which is said to have been the site of the early Silla palace. It also encompasses the Poseokjeong Pavilion, which holds the memories of the final pages of Silla's history. The "Samneung Trail" on the Namsan West connects these historical sites that showcase the rise and fall of the Silla dynasty. I recommend setting aside half a day to walk along the trail and explore these meaningful places leisurely.

encounters both the beginning and the end of Silla Dynasty history
