It is said that if you want to get to know a country, then you should learn the history, and if you want to learn the history, then you should visit the old capital. That is why many Koreans pick Gyeongju, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Shilla as the cradle of Korea's ancient civilization.
As soon as visitors step over the threshold of the Wolamjae traditional house in Gyengju, they are captivated by the atmosphere, as if taking a trip back in time several hundred years ago. Only one study in the old house remains from the time when it was built. Surrounded by a magnificent natural landscape, the house was built based on the principles of Fengshui, with a mountain in the back and a stream out front.
All rooms in Wolamjae have traditional Korean underfloor heating or ondol, so it is a good place to stay for visitors to experience the old Korean lifestyle.
Wolamjae The Gyeongju National Museum is also suffused with tradition. The garden of the museum houses the bell of King Seongdeok, more popularly known as Emile Bell. The next stop is the Archaeology Hall where gold ornaments like crowns, belts, and necklaces excavated from tombs are displayed. The extravagant jewelry gives an idea of the lifestyle of the Shilla royal family.
At the Anapji Hall of the museum, some of the 30,000 relics discovered in Anapji are exhibited. While other halls mostly feature objects from royal tombs, this hall shows those used by ordinary people. The main Art Hall displays delicate porcelain and crafts. The outdoor exhibition features stone objects collected from Buddhist temples and palaces.
