I was fortunate enough to attend today's excursion to Gyeong-ju. Gyeong-ju is South Korea's largest and very popular with tourists! Age-old traditions linger there unlike anywhere else in Korea, providing more than 2000 years of history.
The trip started off with an hour and a bit's bus ride. First up was a hike around the dam. What a hike. I dressed up in my finest jean pant and takkies (I can like to be wearing a rokkie wif a belt) for this expedition only to find it was a super slow walk on a paved pathway. Awesome!
Not much of a bonding trip if you ask me, nobody really talked to each other.. strange! Later in the day we stopped at the Bulguksa temple, now a world heritage site. Bulguksa temple is the most visited temple in the country. It really was beautiful. This time of year is the perfect time for a visit, because of the autumn leaves.
Gyeong-ju is a very peaceful and relaxing place with beautiful scenery! x
