Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Namsan Mountain is located in the southern part of Gyeongju City, and there are more than 40 streams flowing down from the two peaks of Jinao Peak (468m) and Gaowei Peak (494m). Nanshan is 8km long from north to south and 4km wide from east to west. There are more than 100 temples, more than 80 stone Buddha statues, and more than 60 stone pagodas on the mountain. It can be described as a veritable open-air museum. Nanshan is also divided into the holy places of Silla - Southwest Mountain and Southeast Mountain with many Buddha statues. The legend of Rajing at the foot is the birthplace of the founder of Silla, Park Hyukju, Yangsanjae is the ancestral hall of the founders of the six villages in the Xurafa era before the founding of the Silla state, and Ba Seokjeong is the place where the Millennium Dynasty of Silla came to an end. There are various Buddha statues with precious artistic value and historical significance, such as the stone Buddha statue of Bodhi Temple, the representative of Korea, the 9-meter pagoda standing on the rock, and the Buddha statue of Buddha no Temple. Nanshan not only has many historical relics, but also has a beautiful natural environment. With its own unique valleys and strange rocks, it attracts many tourists who love mountaineering. There is such a saying, "Don't climb Nanshan, don't say that you have been to Gyeongju", which shows that the status of Nanshan in Gyeongju is extraordinary. It contains the beauty of nature, the long history of Silla, and the splendid art of the fusion of aesthetics and religion of the Silla people.

In fact, this is only a style ancient pomp, a small area of courtyard, legendary Silla founding King Park Hejushi was born in this small courtyard, the current courtyard only a small stone monument to record Park Heju's life and a special cleaning of the baby well. From Luojing, all are very steep uphill road, we rode for half an hour, only to Nanshan's most famous monument - Baoshi Pavilion. Entering the abalone pavilion, we found no buildings except a small pool, but on the ground under a big tree, we found an abalone-shaped stone carving building. In fact, this stone carving building is the ancient stream cup pavilion in China. The Pavilion was the place where the kings of the unified Silla era set up a banquet in the seventh century AD. It used to have buildings such as palaces and other buildings.
Get off at the Gyeongju Express Bus Bus Terminal or the Gyeongju Outside Bus Bus Terminal, take the 11 bus to the Unification Palace. There are more than 80 Buddha statues, more than 70 stone towers, and more than 100 small temple sites scattered in the mountains. It is an open-air museum that retains the breath of the ancient capital of the millennium. Qingzhou Nanshan is located in the south, so it has to be named. The mountains are beautiful and the mountains are not high. It is not very tired to walk. You will see many Buddha statues along the way. Some of them are strange stones. The environment is beautiful and the religious atmosphere is very strong. The historical significance of the visit is good.
if you want to walk to Namsan tower, go straight from Myungdong Station Exit 5 towards Hoehyeon Intersection and then turn left. Take the Namsan Outdoor Escalator to the platform and then take the cable car to arrive at Namsan Seoultower.
Take the 500 road in front of Qingzhou Bus Station to the foot of the mountain. The mountain road is steep and the mountain stone scenery is average. Climbing to the top of the mountain can take a look at the whole picture of Qingzhou. There are several relics of the Silla period, a tower and some Buddha statues.
