Kyongju
was
the
capital
of
the
Shilla
Kingdom
for
over
1,000
years.
Thousands
of
historic
buildings
and
objects
have
been
maintained
well
throughout
the
city,
truly
making
it
the
"museum
without
walls."
Many
sites
are
within
easy
walking
distance
from
each
other,
making
visiting
the
city
very
convenient.
The
Eastern
Historic
Zone
contains
someof
the
city's
most
famous
sites.
Kyongju
can
be a
very
expensive
place
for
visitors!
Although
many
of
the
historic
sites
can
be
viewed
for
free,
the
most
popular
ones
have
steep
admission
prices.
If
you
are
a
Kyongju
resident,
however,
you
can
get
into
most
places
for
free
