Gyeongju After Sunset Hits Different 🌙

Everyone knows Gyeongju for its ancient tombs, temples, and thousand-year history. But this week, there’s a good reason to stay out a little longer after sunset. Ancient tombs turn into canvases of light, contemporary art meets the old capital of Silla, and even Snoopy has made his way to Gyeongju. Here’s what’s worth checking out in the city this week.

📢 BEFORE YOU GO

A Few Things Are Changing in Gyeongju

Planning a heritage trip to Gyeongju? Check your route before you leave, as several major attractions have temporary closures or restoration work scheduled this season.

Bulguksa Temple is entering a period of major restoration work, including work around Daeungjeon Hall. Meanwhile, parts of the Hwangnyongsa Temple Site are restricted due to maintenance, and the Hwangnyongsa History & Culture Center is temporarily closed until November 20.

The Gyeongju National Museum also has partial gallery closures scheduled for September 14 and 16. Heritage sites in Korea can occasionally change access because of restoration, weather, or special schedules, so check the official website before visiting.
