경주 ♡ temple run

It's been literally months since I uploaded the first part of my day in Gyeongju and seeing that today, a year prior, I was already in Korea makes it even more obvious that it is about damn time to continue this series.

Today I want to talk about our adventureous trip to Hwangnyongsa and Bunhwangsa, as well as our night trip to Cheomseongdae and other sites around Gyeongju. This post will be really picture heavy, but as always, I will try to include some information about the sites I visited, as well.
And since I can't recall the last time when I visited so many historical sites on one day, I came up with that rather corny headline - I hope you don't mind...

After visiting Cheonmachong in Tumuli Park (you can read up on that here) we took a cab to Hwangnyongsa. Unfortunately I expected what I had seen on photos - like that one - before and couldn't find the pagoda - naturally since it's not there anymore.

경주 ♡ dipping into Korean history

After I put up my Korean notebook haul and the special post about my visit to the SM popup store in Myeongdong, it's finally time to continue on and talk about my day in Gyeongju.

I actually just recently realized why I like to do my travelogs that detailed and late... they help me revive the memories and in some cases help to sooth my wanderlust. Sometimes it makes it worse but usually it freshens up my daily life that tends to be really hectic and uneventful (at least most of it isn't really blog-worthy).
