Gyeongju

Jesse is very familiar with the photo spots at all the attractions and will continuously guide you on how to pose during the photo shoot. Afterwards, many of the photos were surprisingly well-composed. He is also very patient with children. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take photos in Gyeongju. A professional camera can better showcase the beauty of Gyeongju than a mobile phone.

Hiking in the bamboo forest early in the morning was very relaxing. We happened to arrive at Bulguksa Temple during the Buddha's birth celebration, which was quite lively. Next to the Pirojeongjeon Hall, there were cute stacks of prayer stones; I heard that finding stones in the area means finding good luck! My friend and I were lucky enough to find some! ✨ The Gyeongju Hanok Village was beautiful, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time. We also experienced the Hanbok Museum, which was full of ancient artifacts from the royal palace and Buddhist art, and visited the Korean version of the pyramids. This trip was a truly immersive experience of Korean culture! 👍 Our guide, Chris, provided very detailed explanations, and most importantly, he's a handsome oppa! 🤭

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.
