I walked to the Anapji pond which was around 300m from the National Museum of Gyeongju.

Seokgurram Grotto, Gyeongju

After Bulguksa, I rode no 12 bus, 1,500 won to go to Seokguram grotto. It was a very winding road.


A big bell - if I'm not mistaken it is Queen Seondok's bell. The same queen in the saeguk drama for MBC.

The day was so shiny and bright.


You can drink water from here.

I walked about half a kilometer to reach the seokgurram grotto.






A malaysian's wish.

However, the seokgurram grotto was put behind glass to preserve. I was so disappointed because the statue was so beautiful!!



Admission to Seokgurram grotto is 4,000 won.
