You can get on and off the air-conditioned vehicle at Busan Station, Seomyeon Station or Haeundae Station.

Depart from Busan and see the highlights
of autumn Gyeongju in one day

In the morning, board the vehicle at your booked spot: Busan Station (subway) Exit 4, Seomyeon Station Exit 4 or Haeundae Station Exit 5. For about 9 hours you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle while an English-speaking guide introduces each sight, and in the evening you are dropped off at the same three spots.

See the bamboo trails of Ahopsan Forest and autumn at Bulguksa Temple

First, stop at Ahopsan Forest and walk among towering bamboo while enjoying the scenery with autumn foliage. Admission to Ahopsan Forest is paid separately. After a lunch break at a local restaurant (about 1 hour, meal not included), explore Bulguksa Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with your guide.

Feel Silla history at Gyochon Village and Daereungwon

Walk through Gyochon Village, a well-preserved hanok village in Gyeongju, to see traditional architecture, and stop by the historic house of the Choi family of Gyeongju to hear their story. Then stroll among the Silla royal tombs at Daereungwon, surrounded by autumn foliage.

Finish the day at Hwangnidan-gil, the pink muhly of Cheomseongdae and Woljeonggyo Bridge

Enjoy free time on Hwangnidan-gil, lined with cafes, shops and hanok buildings. At Cheomseongdae, admire the pink muhly field that blooms every autumn, then look around Silla cultural heritage at Gyeongju National Museum. You can also choose Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond instead of the museum (admission KRW 3,000 per person, paid on site). Finally, end the tour viewing Woljeonggyo Bridge in the autumn scenery.
