Seoul: Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom (57 BC–935 AD) in today’s North Gyeongsang Province in the southeastern Korean Peninsula, is sometimes called a “roofless museum” for its centuries-old temples, palaces, royal tombs and treasures scattered around different areas of the city.
With great accessibility to Silla’s legacy along with a blend of nature, history and culture, the city enjoys a reputation among Koreans as a must-visit tourist destination.
The ancient city is to host the 2025 APEC Summit next fall, following in the footsteps of Busan, another southeastern city with a proud history and culture, which hosted the country’s last APEC Summit in 2005.
The abundance of hanok, stone pagodas and Buddhist statues and presence of diverse cultural heritage can be felt in every corner of Gyeongju, with iconic attractions such as Cheomseongdae — Asia’s oldest extant astronomical observatory.
