Gyeongju III

At the SaRangChae Guesthouse, likely our favourite place out here.

The yard at SaRangChae

Le Bassin Anapji - a man made pond with what used to be a large palace. Built centuries ago but burnt by the Japanese at some point in the 1500 or 1600's. Only a few temple style structures have been rebuilt. Le parc est vraiment jolie avec beaucoup de verdure, ce qui est devenu quelque chose qui nous manque enormement dans la grosse ville.

Pas Anapji, mais une bonne forme!! Photo prise dans un des parcs qui contient des tombeaux (les petites collines comme celle derriere Amanda)

De retour a Anapji

AK having fun in the midst of some lilly pads.

Of course!!!!

Bulguksa Temple - A few kilometres south of Gyeongju at the base of a mountain lies this temple. Built 15 centuries ago and then enlarged some time after that. The Shilla Dynasty called Gyeongju home, so many important historical sites are in and around here. As seems to be the norm in Korea, the Japanese burnt a good chunk of this place down in the 16th century. It has been re-built to its former glory in the last 40 years. This place is beautiful, serene.

There is a little area where these are put together by visitors. I do believe they represent a person's prayer.
