Gyeongju National Park centers on Namsan Mountain, a sacred peak dotted with over 100 Silla relics, including temple sites, stone pagodas, and royal tombs. Hikers can discover rock-carved Buddha images and Bodhisattvas along forested trails, such as the famous Seated Stone Buddha at Sinseonam. The park offers a blend of natural beauty and archaeological wonder, with panoramic views of Gyeongju from the summit. It's a quieter alternative to the city's main historic areas.
Don't miss
- The Seated Stone Buddha at Sinseonam Hermitage, a masterpiece of Silla sculpture
- The Namsan Mountain trail passing the Three-Story Stone Pagoda at Mireukgol
- Views from the Namsan summit overlooking the Gyeongju basin
