From Seoul we moved by train down to Gyeongju, which was the capital of Silla, which eventually unified much of the Korean peninsula.

In the temples department, there is the Seoguram Grotto and the large Bulguksa Temple.

The next morning we visited the Yangdong Folk Village, This is a living village, as can be determined by the historical buildings with satellite TV dishes.

The afternoon was occupied with the Gyeonju National Museum and the Daereungwon Royal Tombs. There was one example of a tomb where you could enter underneath showing the internal structure, but no photography was allowed.
