Gyeongju, South Korea

Challenge yourself with 3-hour hiking at Namsan Mountain

The Namsan Mountain in Gyeongju, unlike eponymous one in bustling Seoul, combines serene nature and history, offering a unique experience through forested trails dotted with ancient Buddhist relics, stone statues, and pagodas from the Silla Kingdom. The moderately challenging paths lead to historical sites like temple ruins and royal tombs, while the Geumobong Peak trail rewards hikers with panoramic views of Gyeongju. Hiking during the day provides ample time to explore these cultural treasures while enjoying the serene, spiritual atmosphere of the mountain.
