Gyeongju UNESCO & Busan Sky Capsule Tour (Departing from Busan)

A Train That Runs on Waves,
Blue Line Park Sky Capsule

This tour begins with a ride on the Blue Line Park capsule train, a must-visit spot in Busan.

As the Sky Capsule travels from Mipo in Haeundae to Cheongsapo and then to Songjeong, you can admire the crashing waves below, the lush greenery, and the coastline along the East Busan Sea. The sight of colorful capsules lined up on the tracks, contrasting with the blue sea, is also a delightful highlight.

Don't forget to capture memorable photos inside the capsule during your ride!
 

Bulguksa Temple: A Sanctuary of National Defense

Have you only thought of Bulguksa Temple as a school trip destination? This temple holds many more stories within its grounds.

Mount Tohamsan, where Bulguksa Temple is located, was considered a mountain of national defense during the Silla Kingdom. The Dabotap and Seokgatap pagodas, featured on currency, symbolize the temple built on this sacred mountain with the spirit of protecting the nation. Listen to the poignant story of Dabotap, a testament to enduring marital love. The Seokgatap pagoda is also significant as the site where the world's oldest printed Buddhist scroll, the Muguijeonggwang Daedaranigyeong, was discovered.

We highly recommend this tour for those seeking a rich journey through Korean history and stories.
 

Gyeongju: An Open-Air Museum

Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom for a thousand years, is a city where historical sites from the Three Kingdoms period are found at every step. The Gyeongju Historic Areas were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in December 2000.

Comprising five major districts—Wolseong, Hwangnyongsa, Sanseong, Namseon, and Daereungwon—the Gyeongju Historic Sites preserve the essence of Silla's history and culture. With a high concentration of Silla's Buddhist culture, art, royal palace sites, and city ruins, you can explore a wealth of historical relics without venturing far from one location.

Gyeongju's Iconic Night Views

While Gyeongju's daytime scenery, intimately connected with nature, is beautiful, its appearance after sunset is equally captivating.

This tour includes a visit to Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, Gyeongju's premier night view spot. Once a royal palace complex in the Silla era, the reflection of the buildings in the pond creates a breathtaking spectacle. It served as a venue for banquets and entertaining state guests, showcasing its splendid and beautiful architecture that will captivate your gaze.

Stroll through the Silla-era pond as the lights illuminate the night.
