Huewon (休垣) Huewon is a cozy hanok guesthouse located in Seoak-dong, Gyeongju. Since Gyeongju had been the capital of the Silla Dynasty for about a thousand years, Huewon is surrounded by various cultural heritage sites such as Tomb of King Muyeol, Tomb of King Jinji, and Seoakseowon Confucian Academy with a serene atmosphere.
Built in the 1970s and renovated later, Huewon started its accommodations service around 2011. Entering the gate, one can see a square-shaped courtyard giving a very bright and warm impression, in the middle of which is an old beautiful magnolia tree that is popular among visitors.
The garden is well-arranged with flower trees and bonsai trees and decorated with vintage items such as an old well and a water pump. Behind the house, the surroundings along with the low-altitude Seondosan Mountain make for beautiful seasonal scenery.
This cozy and pleasant hanok house has been well-maintained with the will and care of the owner, preserving the traditional hanok features including columns, beams, and rafters of the ceiling that show traces of time past.
The guestrooms are bright and clean with a delicate fragrance. Aside from red clay walls and clean beddings, however, there are no other additional facilities such as BBQ set because the guesthouse seeks to offer guests a quiet, healthy, and stable environment.
The guesthouse’s host, who has lived in Gyeongju for about 30 years and has engaged in promoting Gyeongju’s cultural heritages, willingly recommends to guests special travel destinations in Gyeongju and tells stories about Gyeongju.
In particular, the way to Dobongseodang Village School located behind Huewon is highly recommended by the host. Going up to the village school early morning, one is treated to a fantastic open view of Gyeongju in the fog. Moreover, Namsan Mountain, nicknamed Outdoor Museum since it is full of various Buddhist statues and towers here and there, is another recommended destination near the guesthouse.

Tumba Cheonmachong (Parque Daereungwon) (천마총(대릉원))

Gyerim-ro 9, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do

En Gyeongju, en el parque Daereungwon, se pueden observar las grandes tumbas de monarcas y nobles del reino de Silla. Dentro de este parque se sitúan 23 tumbas enormes, entre las cuales se destacan las tumbas Cheonmachong y Hwangnamdaechong, las más grandes y antiguas. En una exploración y excavación del área, realizada en 1970, se descubrió la tumba Cheonmachong, dentro de la que se halló una pintura antigua de un caballo celestial. Esta pintura es la única descubierta de los antiguos tiempos de la dinastía Silla. Dentro de esta tumba se encontraron 11.526 reliquias y coronas del monarca, que fueron trasladadas al museo. Todos estos objetos muestran la vida lujosa que llevaban los reyes de aquella época. Otra atracción turística es la tumba Hwangnamdaechong, que es el enterramiento antiguo más grande. Era un sepulcro matrimonial y en su interior se hallaron los restos del rey y la reina, con más de 30.000 accesorios y adornos de oro. El aspecto más destacable de la tumba Hwangnamdaechong es que en el sepulcro de la reina se encontraron más adornos lujosos que en el del rey. De hecho, los investigadores llegaron a la conclusión de que la reina podía ostentar una alta posición social aún antes del matrimonio real, y la jerarquía de la mujer en aquellos tiempos era muy respetada. Recorriendo estas tumbas, podrá vivir en carne propia la cultura antigua, de más de 1.500 años de historia.
