As the capital of the Shilla Kingdom (B.C. 57 - A.D. 935), Gyongju was the center of a golden period of Korean culture. The remains of the brilliant culture of the Shilla Kingdom are preserved as they were. The two supreme treasures of Gyongju are the Bulguksa Temple, one of the most beautiful temples in Korea, and Sokkuram (a stone grotto) known worldwide for the granite statue of Buddha and its mysterious architectural structure.


Gyongju is located about 350 Km south-east of Seoul, and transportation is available from Seoul by air, train or bus. It is old capital of Shilla Kingdom (up to 10th century) and there are many old cultural remains (many Buddhist) which was designated by UNESCO as world cultural heritages. The Hotel Hyundai Gyongju is situated at the Bomun Lake Resort, 4 miles from downtown Gyongju and 40 minutes from Ulsan and Pohang Airports.
