Gyeongju

Luckily, another group of guests cancelled their trip at the last minute, so our group of two wasn't cancelled. We are very grateful 🙏 Mr. Kim, who was both our driver and guide throughout the trip, walked with us at every scenic spot, helped take photos, and even adjusted our sightseeing time to include extra time for taking photos while wearing hanbok. He also picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel, which was very convenient. Unlike other package tours we bought on other platforms, none of the scenic spots required entrance fees (I don't know why).

This "Gyeongju 24-Hour Pass" is incredibly cost-effective! I feel like just one visit to Gyeongju World is almost enough to recoup the cost, and the other attractions feel like freebies. The pass also includes a special edition T-money card with a pre-loaded 5000 won balance – a nice little touch. I also redeemed a small Gyeongju bread (a nice local treat). My itinerary was packed: after Gyeongju World, I tried the toboggan run, and in the evening, I strolled around Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond for a beautiful nighttime view. Afterward, I went to Cheonmazuki Tomb, but the ticket staff said it was sold out close to closing time, so I had to try again the next morning (it wasn't too bad inside, but it was a nice way to unlock the attractions). Finally, I went to Gyeongju EXPO Park, where you can also go up Gyeongju Tower for views and shelter from the rain – a great way to end the trip. Overall, this pass really allows you to fully experience Gyeongju, and if you plan your time well, it's excellent value for money! 【2026/04/08 Gyeongju World Ride Record】 🕒 4/8 (Entered the park at 11:04 AM) • 90-degree roller coaster (Draken): 2 rides • 78-degree monorail roller coaster (Phaethon): 2 rides • Air Time 360: 1 ride • Submarine Splash: 1 ride • Krak: 1 ride ↳ Spins at least 4 times, then slowly swings at the end, about 6 minutes in total • Tornado: 1 ride ↳ Extremely dizzy and nauseous after the ride, broke out in a cold sweat, very intense feeling 😵‍💫 📌 Note: There were many people that day, and the queue time was relatively long. Also, T-money can be exchanged before entering the park at the "Visitor Center on the right-hand side of the entrance," which is easy to find.
