Must-visit UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gyeongju
Woke up early to get to Bulguksa via Bus 10/11, which took around 1 hour to get there. Be prepared for a steep climb up to reach the temple entrance. Fees were 6,000 won per person, which allowed you to roam the temple vicinity but was worth it. Able to explore all the buildings within the temple compound, but had to pay additional 2,000 won to visit the Bulguksa Museum, which we skipped. The temple compound was amazing and really cannot be missed when being in Gyeongju. Must go!

Amazing
Beautiful temple with an interesting historical background. I really recommend taking part in a guided tour to get all the information. The information center with the tour hours is near the middle pond. Our guide was excellent, lovely, and very patient in answering our questions! It was an extraordinary experience. Absolutely great sight. One of the best temples I've gone to South Korea. Most of the sights are restored building from a bit after the Japanese occupation, around 1973. There are a few stone monuments that are original, however. There is also plenty of information about each statue and building talking about the significance of each. Definitely check out if you're in Gyeongju!
