On the way to Gyeongju I stopped at 불국사 (Bulguksa)
temple. It is very convenient because the temple has it's own train
station when you take the train from 해운대 (Haeundae) station. Then you
just have to take the bus in front of the station to go straight to the
temple. 불국사 temple is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The
temple was first erected in 550 A.D. but was destroyed during wars and
burned to the ground. Hopefully it was restored in 1972 and 24 buildings
are now available to the public. This temple offers architectural
features from the Silla period as Gyeongju, the closest city was the
main city of the Silla empire.
