  • Hanok, which embraces the traditional beauty of Korea, appeals to us with the comfort and stability of a quiet space. Hanok stays and hanok cafes that appeared on popular entertainment programs are loved as healing spots to soothe the tired mind of everyday life.

    Hanok Pension The-Nine
    87 Chunghyoseoak-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 경주시 충효서악길 87)

    This is a Hanok pension where all the members of 'I Live Alone' went on a trip together and stayed. The most special thing about this place is that it has a swimming pool inside. There is a shallow pool for children and two pools for adults, which can be used freely. Towels are provided and you can rent a tube to enjoy a comfortable swim. The interior is also conveniently decorated while preserving the beauty of a Hanok, and all facilities are tidy. There is also a separate barbecue area.

    Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond
    102 Wonhwa-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 경주시 원화로 102)

    This is the palace site where a royal villa of the Unified Silla Period was located, and it is the place where grand banquets were held to welcome precious guests. The scale is not large, but there are many curves on the edge, so the whole pond cannot be seen at a glance from any side, and it feels wider than it actually is, showing the wisdom and skills of the Silla people. The most famous view is the night view of the moon and the palace reflecting on the pond, but the colorful scenery is very beautiful even during the day.

    Hwangnidan Street
    1080 Poseok-ro, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (경상북도 경주시 포석로 1080)

    It is introduced as a filming location for Korean entertainment programs as well as Thai dramas and Indonesian entertainment programs, so it is well known to foreigners. Traditional Hanok-style cafes, restaurants, and photo studios are concentrated here, so anyone who visits Gyeongju can stop by. In addition, the buildings from the 1960s and 1970s are well preserved, so you can feel the old atmosphere, and it is close to famous tourist attractions such as Cheomseongdae Observatory and Daereungwon Ancient Tombs. As Gyeongju is the capital of the Silla Dynasty, the experience of trying on the clothes of the kings, queens, Hwarang, nobles, and generals of the Silla Dynasty is a special opportunity that cannot be missed.
