Gyoungju Tour

Today we visited the ancient city of Gyoungju. It used to be the capital of Korea thousands of years ago. At that time the country's official religion was Buddhism, so there are many Buddhist shrines, temples, etc. We walked through one of the most famous and beautiful Buddhist temples, went to an ancient burial ground, and visited some museums.

First, the Buddhist temple...























Next, the ancient burial grounds and museum. The Koreans buried kings and such under these huge mounds. They dug tombs underground (under the huge mounds) and buried the king and his possessions. Pretty interesting.
