Gyeongju

There are burial mounds and excavation sites all over the city. The queens' tomb mounds are smaller than the kings'.

We visited a King's tomb, a partially renovated Palace, a traditional hanok village and another fascinating market. As it was a Sunday a lot of Koreans were out enjoying the historical sites and flying kites.

The pond below was excavated in 1975 and loads of artefacts, bones etc were recovered. Only 3 buildings of the Palace compound have been reconstructed so far.

You can hire bikes.....or to get the toddlers around you can hire an electric car
