Daeleungwon

The heart of old Gyeongju is Daeleungwon, this is the place where many of the Kings and Queens of the Silla Kingdom are buried in their tombs.  Daeleungwon itself is a large park, with many tombs, and you can enter one of them.  This is a beautiful place to spend an afternoon with the family.  If coming from Ulsan, just take the number 7 road all the way north until you see a street sign telling you to turn left, the turn is probably less than a kilometer after the National Museum.  Across from Daeleungwon is another park where you can walk around, seem more tombs, a star observatory, and the remmants of an old palace.
